Lifelong Changes: Transformations in Career Guidance and Counselling

Technological and societal upheavals are transforming professional career guidance and counselling

Organiser: Lifelong Guidance 5.0, Wiener Volkshochschulen

The world of career guidance and coun­sel­ling is under­go­ing profound trans­for­ma­ti­ons. Technological inno­va­tions, evolving labour markets, and societal changes are reshaping the way pro­fes­sio­nals support indi­vi­du­als in navi­ga­ting their career paths.

This con­fe­rence provides a unique platform to explore these shifts, share knowledge, and discuss the future of lifelong guidance. Participants will benefit from expert inputs, inter­ac­ti­ve dis­cus­sions, and oppor­tu­ni­ties to network with col­le­agues and peers from across Europe and beyond.

Whether you are a career guidance coun­sell­or, educator, rese­ar­cher, or policy-maker, this event will inspire new ideas and practical approa­ches to streng­then career guidance and coun­sel­ling in your region.

Embracing Diversity in Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Umeå University

Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the Nordic countries is shaped by strong welfare traditions, close relationships between education and working life, and longstanding ambitions of equality, inclusion and high‑quality education for all. Nevertheless, Nordic VET systems display substantial variation and complexity, influenced by social, demographic, pedagogical and structural differences across countries, regions, institutions and vocational fields. The 2027 NORDYRK conference Embracing Diversity in VET invites researchers, practitioners and policymakers to explore how such diversity shapes the conditions, opportunities and challenges of VET.   The Call for abstracts opens on November 11, 2026 and closes on January 31, 2027. Registration is required.
