Investing in career guidance: The case for workers

Supporting the career development of workers is a quadruple win – for the individual, for organisations, for the economy and for society. The ongoing transformations in workplaces, occupations, economies and societies are creating pressure for workers to continuously upskill and reskill.

This leaflet advocates for quality career guidance for workers in the framework of lifelong guidance systems. Based on the collective work of the member organisations of the Inter-Agency Working Group on Career Guidance (IAG WGCG), it describes how workers can benefit and the main ingredients that contribute to quality in career guidance.
