چکیده (انگلیسی):

Although childhood is the most significant period in one's career development process, little research attention has been paid to the evaluation
of career counselling intervention programs in elementary-aged children. An intervention study was carried out in order to evaluate a career
counselling program implemented in one Greek elementary school which focused on the enrichment of the children's career interests. The
research methodology used was the quasi experimental research design. Children (N = 84) aged 8-1 1 years were distributed in experimental
and control groups. Τhe impact of the intervention focused on the enrichment of their career interests, which was assessed via semi-structured
interviews and use of drawings. The results showed a statistical significant difference between groups concerning children's career interests
after intervention, while the analysis of drawings revealed more differences in self-confidence, self- esteem and extraversion in favour of the
children that participated in the experimental group. Gender and age differences were also explored and revealed. The results are discussed
in relation to various aspects of children's career development, as well as to the significance of career counselling intervention programs.
