| dc.description.abstract | Modern vocational counselling is one of the key issues of labour pedagogy; it
has been evolving towards career counselling, which in fact means gradually departing
from the directive guidance. Thus, the paradigm of vocational guidance is changing
into career counselling, which focuses on the lifelong development of individuals and
supporting them at different stages of their lives to solve the problems of transitions
between various roles. The features, characteristic to modern professional careers,
such as: changeability, unpredictability, being non-linear, and mobility, result in the
greater demand for the services providing lifelong career guidance/counselling - for
the professionals, who are going to support and help people in the process of developing their own professional career. Career counselling, a great part of which is the
professional career, deals with supporting and helping an individual to solve problems
in uncertain conditions. Thus, in the following article, based on the subject literature,
the ways of understanding it have been presented, as well as the terms connected
with it, i.e. planning and managing one’s professional career. In addition to this, the
article tries to define the process mentioned in the title and indicates the differences
between the traditional vocational guidance and the modern career counselling, including their roles, models and goals. | en_US |
