a railway line jointly with LLL

LLG is a switch

Where we got started? – Career Guidance is a standalone profession also a system and a policy

There is a significant history of science background to the development of career guidance as a profession; the development of philosophy, psychology, economics, sociology and medicine facilitated the scientific establishment of a practical activity. The development of these areas shows different features but, concerning counselling, we can emphasize the significance of interdisciplinary which is both a difficulty and an opportunity in this process.

Four components of the national Lifelong Guidance system development – The Hungarian case (2008-2010)

The programme rests on four major capacity-building pillars, carrying significant individual and social consequences for all labour market participants: 

1. a core network of lifelong guidance professionals,

2. a wider lifelong guidance delivery network on different delivery levels,

3. increase of the number of career guidance professionals, and

4. development of career information tools
