NCE / CPCE Counselor

Answer: C - In social cognitive career theory, counselors may assist their clients in analyzing their perceptions of barriers to a career and identifying closed occupational possibilities. Some clients may believe there are too many barriers (e.g. lack of math skills) to certain types of careers. Counselors may work with clients to change those perceptions and problem solve with their clients to remove those possible barriers. There may also be misperceptions held regarding the career types and counselors can help clients identify previously closed occupational possibilities, such as engineering for women or nursing for men.
