Abstract
The turn of the 21st century has marked several changes in many social processes in the whole world including Europe and Latvia, such as the disappearance of antiquated professions and creation of completely new ones, which is related to replacing students´ professional orientation with career education.Rapid development and changes in the job market, unemployment, constantly increasing information about jobs and educational paths cause confusion, indecision and disinformation for schoolchildren choosing their own career. This demands from the school to be able to develop the student`s ability to make decision about their future choices.To understand why the term “career education” has replaced the term “professional orientation”, which was used in the 20th century, this article analyses the essence of both concepts in relation to social processes and political stances in different eras.
