Career‐Development Assessment and Counseling (C‐DAC) systematically bridges career theory and practice. Integrating differential, developmental, and phenomenological methods, the C‐DAC model uses a comprehensive career assessment battery to help clients explore their roles, developmental stages and tasks, career attitudes and knowledge, values, and interests within their unique life contexts. The authors recommend elaborating the C‐DAC model to formally appraise cultural identity in step one of the model and to consider cultural identity concerns throughout the C‐DAC process. This should help counselors more clearly understand how cultural factors influence people's career development and vocational behavior.
