about his career and activities that contribute to his personal
development and the society in which he lives and thrives.

the initial choice of school and profession, and includes
the matching of the individual’s professional and private
roles, job and leisure and mental health.
 It more directly leads towards the goals of this systematic
activity, and emphasizes not only the benefit for the
individual, but also its strong social component.
