Lifelong guidance in Europe: 2nd International Conference in Athens

On 4th October 2016 was held the second International Conference of the LE.A.DE.R Project in Athens organized by Athens University of Economics and Business – AUEB named "Lifelong guidance in Europe: The shift to Career Management Skills Development".

Europe has centered lifelong guidance policies on the concept of Career Management Skills (CMS), which identifies the skills that each person should have to manage autonomously and consciously their choices of study and work.
The theme of Career Management Skills is crucial to design and organize the guidance services, in order to guarantee every student and every person in the moment of transition and choise useful guidance and advise to make the right step, to select the best opportunities, to apply effectively a new job.

The LE.A.DE.R project aims in particular to test in practice which models and guidance tools better respond to this new approach and to develop courses and training resources for guidance counselors and teachers.
The Athens Conference introduced to the local participants and practitioners this new European CMS Framework developed by the partnership and the future steps of the project that iclude national pilot actions.

All the interventions of the International Conference are now available for the registered users of the LE.A.DE.R. project website.
