Holland’s Codes Theory

The RIASEC Theory

“John Holland's Theory of Career Choice (RIASEC) maintains that in choosing a career, people prefer jobs where they can be around others who are like them. They search for environments that will let them use their skills and abilities, and express their attitudes and values, while taking on enjoyable problems and roles.” https://www.careers.govt.nz/resources/career-practice/career-theory-models/hollands-theory/
