Are you in need to develop a Career Guidance Strategy ? And alsointerested to learn from international examples?
Then you may get inspired by ‘Scotland’s Career Strategy – Moving Forward’. This is not only a very recent example but also from a country considered to have well-developed career guidance services. See the link to a recorded webinar as well as to the new strategy below.
Already some 10 years ago, Scotland made a clear commitment to an all-age career service with emphasis...

warm #welcome on our platform!
as the world is fighting with the worst health #crisis of the past years (if not centuries),
the education systems all over the world have to go through a forced #transformation,
Thanks for your reply, 1380 ! Very interesting to know what is happening in Latvia! So what is happening with the pupils below 5th grade in your country? do they get classes via digital tools?
yes, the same as in higher grades. Parents are helping. Before distance training schools made survey about availability of learning possibilities (computers) of each pupil. Those who had no technologies available- school provided with computers (more than 5000 computers bought by govenment speccially for crises management)

Do you know about the role of parents in career and education decisions of their children? And how parents can be better supported on this?
Then you should read or at least glance through the recently published report of the University of Warwick (IER-Institute for Employment Research) produced in cooperation with the Gatsby and JP Morgan Chase Foundations. Or you could join one of the forthcoming webinars (on 25 March 2020 , 4 pm or 7 April 2020, 10 am). In case you miss it, don't worry,...
Thanks, interesting Helmut. At the VET school I worked in the Netherlands we also conducted a study on career choices. It turned out that mothers had most influence on the student's choice of a study programme.
Indeed, Jolien – this is also my experience and it may be true for many countries. Depending also on culture and other factors. In Ireland mothers are too the ‘single biggest influence on students’ career choices (findings from a recent career guidance review). Followed by fathers and guidance counsellors. Of concern is that students from lowest-income groups tend to receive less advice from families. They may therefore be in greatest need of access to professional career guidance. Also in order to be able breaking the cycle of inter-generational disadvantage.
By all good intentions parents have for their children (most of us are also parents), these are not un-problematic. Young people get mixed signals from different influencers. And parents may not be the best informed about what is going on in education and work, especially in our fast changing times. That’s why it is so important that career guidance policy and practice need to pay a lot more attention to work with parents. Would anybody in our Open Space community from our partner countries like to share her/his experience or a research finding on this topic?

Why career guidance is more important than ever ? Especially in Corona- and post-Corona times?
