useful model for career-work planning and decision-making

As both a counsellor and a consumer of career-related information, it is a real pleasure to read theories and models that are practical and useful. I would therefore like to highly recommend Bill Law's Career-Learning CafĂ© (http://www.hihohiho.com/).

The CPI model that he has developed recently (2005) is useful even for a career-learner to think about. In the model, CPI stands for:

Coverage (what information a career decision-maker needs)
Processes (how to organize that information so it's understandable and useful)
Influences (acknowledging the beliefs and values that come from our backgrounds and experiences)

The project is very interesting, and I highly recommend it as reading to any career counsellor.
