VET guidance in Latvia has expanded since 2005 according to the approved "career development support system" concept. This system includes three key elements: information services, career education programs, and career counseling assistance. The Ministry of Education and Science and Ministry of Welfare share political responsibility for implementing this system. The Vocational Education Law of 1999 determines which institutions are responsible for organizing VET. Some examples of good practices for career guidance in Latvia include career education projects from 2005-2008, seminars for counselors, career week events, and national databases for career information.
