Abstract
The process of career choice undertaken by Australian tertiary students from Vietnamese-speaking backgrounds is investigated and findings are compared to related research. The purpose was to provide an informed knowledge base for interventions that might affect the course participation and employment rates of these students. The survey results revealed that the process was culturally determined in some areas, but showed evidence of an individualistic awareness of self as independent decision-makers which was not described in the literature consulted.
