Abstract

This chapter argues for the importance of considering geographical space in the career development of young people and notes that the importance of place in career transitions is generally under-theorized. We first provide a theoretical overview of the role of place within career development, followed by further discussion and explication drawing from research with young people in two peripheral and coastal locations—Thanet in Kent, and the islands of Orkney and Shetland. Finally, we conclude by discussing some of the implications for practitioners working in the field of career guidance.
