The purpose of the study was to develop a group counselling program for women who have career discontinuities and examine the effectiveness of the program in terms of social supports and psychological interests. The developed program consisted of 5 modules, which include the understanding oneself, job information searching activities, open job matching process, job-seeking and hiring strategies. The program was focused on motivating and supporting the women who have not been involving job searching and employment processes by providing concrete job information and self-sustainability minds. In the result, the program was effective in supporting the women's social relatedness although not fully effective in sub-components. Also, it was highly effective in psychological interests in terms of attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction.
