Career counseling in Vietnam has yet to be addressed in the literature, and the present research was the first time such a study was conducted in this country. The purpose of this study was to contribute to a better understanding of the application of Holland's theory of vocational choice in Vietnam to determine if it effectively helps high school students make confident vocational choices. This study had three aspects to examine. First, the study explored the current status of career counseling in Vietnam. Second, the study investigated the application of Holland's theory of vocational choice in Vietnam. Finally, the study determined how Holland's model applies to career counseling for Vietnamese high school students in making confident vocational choices. The study involved 50 college freshmen who were administered a Vietnamese version of the Self-Directed Search (SDS; Holland, 1977) and three high school career counselors participated in interviews to answer questions related to the application of Holland's model to career counseling programs in Vietnam. The findings of this study revealed a statistically significant relationship between the participants' first highest SDS scores of the Holland summary codes representing their personality types and the participants' program of study. The results provided some support for the concurrent validity of the Holland's theory. Future studies of Holland's model in Vietnam should be conducted to further explore the validity of Holland's theory in another cultural setting.
