DEVELOP PROTOTYPE TRAINING SYSTEM OF CAREER GUIDANCE COUNSELLORS

Nowadays, the role of career guidance counselors becomes more and more crucial, as previous studies funded by the LLP, have indicated that people are not always able on their own to identify career opportunities. Nowadays, career counselors should be able to inform, guide and provide advice to individuals, being familiar with up-to-date technological packages and innovative educational tools/materials etc., aiming to describe in the most accurate approach their needs. The proposed project seeks to direct career counselors to be able to link job market opportunities with individual competencies of young people, in order to help them in acquiring the best of their skills and choices. The project aims to support initial and continuous training for career guidance counselors, by strengthening the link between Career Guidance Counselors and working life (enterprises, occupational sectors, etc.), developing the capacities of Career Guidance Counselors for job and career guidance to individuals. Therefore, through adaptation of existing innovative training methods, a pilot training system of career guidance counselors, closely connected to the working life, will be formed.Regarding the partnership, it has been designed so it is well balanced, both geographically dispersed & in terms of partners’ competencies & contribution to the project. Partners’ capabilities, experience and networking activities will ensure a successful development of the project, as well as efficient dissemination of the outcomes & viable exploitation planning.This project contributes to the improvement of national career guidance systems and will definitely help to enhance services for job-seekers. The development of a network of career counselors will help in future reduction of unemployment, as it will significantly, adequate and properly, improve - both in terms of the employee and the employer- the distribution of the work force.
