Preferred term

cognitive information processing in career counseling  

Definition

  • There is an old adage, “Give people a fish and they eat for a day, but teach them how to fish and they eat for a lifetime.” This wise maxim succinctly captures the ultimate aim in using the cognitive information processing (CIP) approach to career counseling: to enable individuals to become skillful career problem solvers and decision makers. Through the CIP approach, individuals learn not only how to solve the problem at hand but also how to generalize this experience to future career problems.
