Wellness is emerging as today's core keyword to keep pace with the changed lifestyle of consumers, as there is a growing interest in health and the quality of life. Most of all, the Spa Industry is being taken center stage as the best promising business for the 21st century and the concern for spa therapists continues to grow. However, a shortage of professional manpower is considered as the biggest obstacle to the growth of the Spa Industry. Producing spa therapists, who understand this business well and have expertise and skills, is more important than ever. The purpose of this study is as follows. Spa therapists are experts with specialized theories and skills due to the nature of this job. Therefore, we should help spa therapist trainees to know their talent and capacity and to make a right decision. Based on their characteristics, they should have a career guidance and counseling and be informed related career information. Also we should support and encourage them to be confident in the future, so they can cultivate their self-efficacy on a career. After they make a decision about a career, they should be able to set up their self-development plans actively to carry out the decisions. Also they should be able to form self-development plans aggressively after they go through on-the-job training and field education like a real situation. As a result, we need to guide them to be specialists in the rapidly growing spa industry, when they get a job.
