Career Management in the Long-Life Learning Context
Nowadays we may need knowledge and advice on further activities several times during life. We need relevant and
precise information discussing possibilities and making decisions. A professional advice can often help to clarify a
situation. Future of counseling and orientation can be called ‘brokerage”. An “orientation broker”, having in mind a
client’s interests and applying broad knowledge, can decide which direction it is better to act. All these reasons define
the need of counseling and orientation services to become more “holistic” and able to satisfy wide needs and
requirements of a diverse society. Not only counselors that orientate the long - termed unemployed, ex-convicts, young
adults with low basic skills and without clear vision of their professional career, and disabled persons, must have
especially deep knowledge and good skills, but every member of the modern society has to be able to plan its
professional career. A great importance of this project is that project participants and learners would get acquainted with
influence of cultural differences on the process of counseling and orientation that is, what priorities have citizens of
different countries and what life values are most important for them. All this could help to orientate for the common
European labors market and better integrate into national labors markets. Counselors use methods that often differ in
various European countries. The aim of the project is to get knowledge on most progressive vocational counseling and
orientation methods in the countries project partners and compile a Career Management Portfolio that could be used not
only by counselors, but by all persons going to plan their career. Communication of the project partners and learners in
English, Polish and German during workshops and study visits will develop their language skills (many of the project
participants know these languages) and allow learning some basics of Spanish, Italian and Lithuanian languages. Career
counselors will not only learn new methods, but convey novelties and share their new experience with their colleagues
in their native countries. The Career Management Portfolio will be put on the Websites of the partners and printed in
paper.
