Abstract
Since the 1980s, rapid changes in the world of work have challenged the capacity of career theory to provide adequate explanations of career and career development and the ability of traditional career practice to respond to the varied career development needs of clients in this new work environment It was against this complex and rapidly changing context that the Systems Theory Framework of career development (STF) was created. This article will review the history and development of the STF since its first publication as a contextual model in the inaugural edition of the Australian Journal of Career Development in November 1992.Keywords
