Counseling Women on Career Reentry


Not surprisingly, women make up one of the largest segments of career reentry workers. Based on existing research, most reentry women are middle-aged and are returning to the workplace for numerous reasons including life changing activities such as divorce, death of a spouse or grown children.

For many of these reentry women, they are seeking to balance family with a new career. (Padula, M. (1994). Reentry women: A literature review with recommendations for counseling and research. Journal of Counseling & Development, 73, 10-16).

- Career barriers related to gender role stereotyping
- Job trends for women
- Expectations for women reentering the workforce
- Raising the aspirations for reentry women
