摘要
Despite their high intellectual caliber, gifted high school students may experience very unique barriers and challenges in their career exploration and planning. As such, this group of students need much help when it comes to career guidance and counseling in the school setting. Being cognizant of this reality, the current article attempts to apply key tenets of career development and career counseling theories to the helping context of career guidance and counseling for gifted high school students. It examines the unique career-related barriers and challenges faced by this student population, drawing attention to the complexity of the issue in the context of intellectual giftedness as experienced by the target group. It then proposes theory-informed career guidance and counseling interventions for the target group.
