Career development professionals face tremendous challenges as well as the opportunity to assist millions of students and works in the twenty-first century. The biggest challenges lie in the areas of helping disenfranchised and marginalized worker gain meaningful employment in the modern workplace and get a fair share of the economic benefits available in the economy. Just as it did at the turn of the twentieth century, the effort to help these workers today must begin with the educational process. However, all workers must begin to see themselves as members of a global workforce and understand how their occupations may be enriched or endangered by completion from workers throughout the world.
