Biography

Amundson has done research on career development and on Canadian immigration issues.[1][2] One reviewer said he has "a well-established, international reputation as a scholar and leader in career counselling, but what makes his work singular is that he is a public intellectual whose scholarship can be taken up by diverse communities."[2]

He received the Best Book Award from the Canadian Counseling Association for his book Active Engagement (Ergon Communications, 2003). It has been translated into several languages. In 2014, Amundson received the NCDA Eminent Career Award, which is the highest honor given by the National Career Development Association.[3]
