About: Hope-Action Theory offers an innovative approach to career navigation (Niles, Yoon, & Amundson, 2011). Specifically, Hope-Action Theory provides a framework for teaching people how to integrate environmental influences into their evolving self-understanding with an eye toward identifying work opportunities about which they can be passionate and fully engaged. Self-reflection, self-clarity visioning, goal setting and planning, implementing, and adapting comprise essential competencies for career decision-making.
