Building on the recommendations in the article “An Emancipatory Communitarian Approach to Vocational Development Theory, Research, and Practice” by David Blustein, Ellen McWhirter, and Justin Perry, a critical and global perspective on the challenge facing vocational psychologists who adopt an emancipatory communitarian approach is developed. Attention to the most pressing needs of the global unemployed and working poor will be critical. Most psychologists already possess the skill sets that are required, but the roles will change from work that primarily sustains current socioeconomic systems to work that challenges the globalization of corporate consumerism through an insistence on participatory democracy in the work settings and the defense of the human rights of workers.

With the social development and deepening reform on higher education system in China, the graduate employment have become a social hot and difficult spot increasingly, and it brings series of challenges to the employment guidance. In order to meet the challenge, this thesis suggests a whole-process employment guidance system to innovate the current guidance. It starts from China's actual conditions and reality and draws lessons from the western countries' theoretical fruit on vocational guidance, then puts forward a whole-process employment guidance mode which is guided with the vocational development theory, is launched facing whole college students and is run through the university stage.

David Blustein, Ellen Hawley McWhirter, and Justin Perry present a social justice agenda for action in vocational psychology in their article “An Emancipatory Communitarian Approach to Vocational Development Theory, Research, and Practice.” They build on robust work in counseling psychology over recent decades by using the critical work of Isaac Prilleltensky as a fulcrum for advancing this agenda. Much of their case effectively argues that we should move beyond tradition to improve the working lives of our clients. While their arguments are powerful, I suggest several ways to expand their discourse.
