Implementing a Social Justice Leadership Framework in Career Counseling. Career Development Quarterly, 69(4), 326–339. Abstract: The consequences of the global COVID-19 health crisis and racial disparities have an impact on the employment opportunities of individuals with marginalized identities. The heightened need to address systemic oppression calls for advocacy-focused and social justice–informed career practitioners to provide culturally centered interventions to assist clients’ career development. Practitioners need to be aware of the multiple sources of oppression affecting their clients and develop the skills necessary to understand their worldview. Using a case study and Furman’s (2012) social justice leadership framework, we discuss the importance of career practitioners implementing praxis across internal and external dimensions.

Paper For Above instruction

Social justice leadership plays a vital role in career counseling by fostering equitable access and addressing systemic barriers faced by marginalized populations. Hill et al. (2021) emphasize that career practitioners must adopt a social justice framework to effectively support diverse clients, especially in light of challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and racial inequalities. Such leadership involves advocacy, cultural awareness, and developing skills to understand clients’ worldview, facilitating culturally responsive interventions that promote fairness and inclusion. By integrating praxis—action and reflection—career counselors can challenge oppressive structures internally within themselves and externally in society. This approach aligns with the broader goal of empowering clients to navigate and overcome systemic obstacles, ultimately fostering social equity in employment opportunities. Therefore, social justice leadership enhances the capacity of career counseling to serve all individuals ethically and effectively.
