Abstract

This chapter describes the development and implementation of career guidance and counselling in primary and secondary educational settings covering ages five to 18 years, between 1990 and the present. The author begins with some background information about the administrative authority for career guidance and counselling and whether or not that authority is centralised or decentralised. Some examples of career guidance and counselling programs and practices from around the world are presented. The focus is on what career guidance and counselling knowledge, skills and attitudes, i.e. learning outcomes, children and adolescents are being expected to acquire, along with the delivery systems and methods being used. Some unresolved issues that affect the conceptualisation, delivery and practice of career guidance and counselling in primary and secondary educational settings are discussed in the conclusion of the chapter.
