European Scientific Network for Career Learning and Education

The Movetia/Erasmus+ project "CAREER LEAD: European Scientific Network for Career Learning and Education" adresses the central question of how to optimally support young people in their career choices and career planning in the context of today's dynamic labour market and the ongoing digital revolution. This project spotlights the crucial the role of teachers, trainers and lecturers in guiding students. Our objective is to refine career orientation teaching and to bolster personalised student support, with the ultimate goal of empowering young people to navigate their professional paths independently and confidently, free from stereotypical constraints.

Within the scope of Career Lead, we are formulating innovative training approaches for educators aimed at effectively guiding the professional orientation and career planning of young people. A special emphasis is placed on devising strategies and practices that encourage students to approach their career decisions and planning in a more conscious, reflective, and independent manner, particularly from family, gender-specific, school, or peer influences. A key aspect of this initiative is the promotion of autonomy, critical thinking, and decision-making skills among youth.

The project "Career Lead: Focus on the role of teachers in career choice and career planning of young people" is part of the Erasmus+ project "European Scientific Network for Career Learning and Education (CAREER LEAD)".

The principal objectives of the overall CAREER LEAD include

1. Providing focused support to young people in career selection and planning.
2. Reinforcing and clarifying the role of educators in school-based career guidance.
3. Developing and advocating for innovative solutions and methodologies in career development.
4. Enhancing the training quality for teachers, trainers, and lecturers.
5. Publishing findings and organising transfer events to share project outcomes.
6. Establishing a European network of experts in school-based career guidance and nurturing the next generation of researchers through a doctoral program.
