Abstract
The chapter outlines an experimental project to integrate GROWTH – a group coaching technique – into large-enrollment classes for career development training. In this experimental pedagogical approach, career exploration intended to overcome challenges, find possibilities, and widen perspectives was introduced through group projects. The tools to prepare the students for a profession included mindfulness for success, wellbeing, locus of control, and self-reflection. The approach is intended to assist Gen Z students in realigning their professional aspirations with their current situations. This chapter also discusses the potential benefits of applying design thinking to career education. The chapter purports to explore the interrelationship between career adaptability and sustainable careers, and suggest a contemporary pedagogical method for career development learning in differing contexts, using the GROWTH coaching model and design thinking.
