Abstract
Within the career development field, one of the meaningful and exciting movements is the
trend of localization of counseling knowledge through practitioners’ adaptations in a
culturally diverse world. This presentation reports on how to adapt the Career Construction
Counseling approach with NEET young people in Hong Kong to make it more culturally
appropriate and practically feasible. Ten young participants, aged 15-21, were selected
purposively with various needs and special characteristics. Based on Savickas’ steps of
administrating the Career Construction Interview and the creation of life portrait,
contextually sensitive knowledge and practice tools were developed in this pilot project
