CAREER DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT IN CHANGING LABOUR MARKETS

In times of changing labour markets, rapid technological developments and recovery from COVID-19, career development support is becoming increasingly important for people to manage the frequent and complex transitions within and between learning and work they face. At the same time, career development support services are challenged to provide better access and innovative ways of delivery to both youth and adults in a lifelong learning perspective. This course provided practical guidance on how to develop, implement and improve career development support systems in education, training, labour market services, and support for workers (formally employed, informal work, self-employed). OBJECTIVES By completing this course participants learned: • how to adapt career development support systems and services to global developments impacting on education and training systems and the labour markets; • how key elements of career development support systems could be achieved, from coordination, to funding, quality, access, and use of technology; • how career development support is linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and can contribute to wider public policy goals in education, lifelong learning, employment and social inclusion.
