The People's Republic of China (PRC) is in the process of reforming its educational system, and career guidance is one of the innovative strategies being used to make the schools more accountable. For the past 4 years researchers from the University of Victoria (Canada) and East China Normal University (China) have been working on the development of career guidance materials for middle schools. This article examines the results of a career needs assessment of Chinese middle school children, their parents, and teachers by juxtaposing them with a North American (Canadian) sample.
