Vocational development is an individual and lifelong process. Ideas about the world of work, career intentions and vocational choices arise in the process of the developing individual’s engagement with his or her specific social environment. Drawing on developmental psychology, the article puts forward theoretical perspectives on this process, reports empirical findings and discusses the consequences for supporting children and young people.
