There is a clear consensus in Europe that high quality guidance and counselling services play a key role in supporting lifelong learning, career management and achievement of personal goals. The shift to lifelong guidance in the Member States can best be supported through European cooperation and by means of partnerships between national and regional authorities, social partners, guidance practitioners in education and employment, and young, adult and senior citizens as service users.

Establishing a coherent and holistic guidance system that is accessible over the whole human lifespan has clear implications for the competences, qualifications and continuous professional development of guidance practitioners. The issues of improving the professional profile and standards of guidance practitioners, and promoting their competences and skills, have been addressed in this report. Appropriate initial and further training of guidance counsellors is crucial as they have a central position in guidance service delivery and development.

This report presents the findings from a Europe-wide study that addressed two purposes:

? to review trends and patterns in training provision for career guidance practitioners;

? to develop a common competence framework for career guidance practitioners in the European Union (EU).
