The Skills and Employability Department has just published "Career Guidance: A Resource Handbook for Low- and Middle-Income Countries". A browsable inventory of the websites that constitute Part II of the Handbook is presented here in order to facilitate access to the sites.
While the majority of the websites are English language sites, some French and Spanish language websites are included as well.
This Handbook was developed by the ILO in recognition of the importance of career guidance is today's world. Passage of the ILO Recommendation, Human Resources Development: Education, Training and Lifelong Learning (No. 195), 2004 provided stimulus for attention to career guidance. In addition, constituents in many countries are asking the ILO to assist them to promote youth employment. These factors have contributed to the decision to explore this issue, with an emphasis on the situation in low- and middle-income countries.
The dual purpose of this Handbook is:
1) to focus the attention of policy-makers and programme administrators in low- and middle-income countries upon the core issues in the reform of career guidance services in those countries; and
2) to provide programme planners and practitioners at the national and local levels with a wide variety of country examples and practical career guidance tools to use as models for possible adaptation and use.
