Abstract: The most widely used career development theories today pay close attention to the development of career decision-making skills based on information processing, social knowledge and the correspondence between the individual and the environment as essential for career success, but they do not meet enough the trends and challenges in the development of modern society and economy. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of ь new theory of career development: the Contextual Action Theory. Contextual action theory emphasizes on the way events are viewed. Development is perceived as a continuous process of interaction between an individual and the environment. Within this process, accidental or non-accidental events contribute to an open unpredictable state of being. The result of this worldview presupposes the active nature of the individual as a self-organizing system, as opposed to the view of his relatively passive development, as a result of going through stages of development and/or environmental forces.
