The economic crisis that peaked in 2009 sent shockwaves that will be felt for years to come. It affected businesses, increased social risk for many and destabilised job and career prospects. Young people, particularly, have been badly affected. They are suffering the highest unemployment rates and their prospects have been damaged most. But, despite high unemployment rates in many countries, skill shortages are reported in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) occupations. Europe’s working population is also getting older. In response, European Union (EU) countries have devised several education, training and labour market policies. In all of them, career guidance and counselling increasingly play a central role due to their effectiveness in developing the right skills and attitudes people need for successful careers. Although centred on individuals, benefits of guidance and counselling go much wider. Guidance and counselling, by their nature, link individuals’ agendas, enterprises and governments’ economic and social goals. Being flexible, guidance and counselling can help individuals realise their aspirations, while giving them a better understanding of their career prospects and learning needs. They can be used in enterprises, local communities or schools to improve learning outcomes, knowledge transmission, productivity and innovation. In short, guidance and counselling help people and organisations to adapt and be productive under new and atypical economic and social conditions
