3. WHAT IS CAREER
GUIDANCE?
Career guidance refers to services and activities intended to assist individuals, of any age and at
any point throughout their lives, to make educational, training and occupational choices and to
manage their careers.
Such services may be found in schools, universities and colleges, in training
institutions, in public employment services, in the workplace, in the voluntary or community
sector and in the private sector.
The activities may take place on an individual or group basis, and may be face-to-face or at a
distance (including help lines and web-based services).
They include career information provision (in print, ICT-based and other forms), assessment and
self-assessment tools, counseling interviews, career education programmes (to help individuals
develop their self awareness, opportunity awareness, and career management skills), taster
programmes (to sample options before choosing them) and work search programmes.
