This book is the product of a series of reflections by career
counseling and guidance specialists on a question central to
society: "How can career and life design interventions contribute
to fair and sustainable development and to the implementation of
decent work all over the world? ". This question was formulated by
Professor J. Guichard, the director of the UNESCO Chair in Lifelong
Guidance and counseling at the University of Wroclaw, Poland. The
researchers involved in this Chair's activities proposed answers
which form the chapters of this book. These reflections emphasize
the need to focus on the study and implementation of certain
central psychological processes which can enable individuals to
face the main challenges of our society. The contributions also
propose new avenues of intervention for career counseling and
guidance. The entire book is the bedrock of a program of research
and interventions to be implemented in order that the field of
career counseling and guidance plays a key role for individuals who
must design their lives in a rapidly changing, and ever more
complex context. This book is therefore a major scientific
contribution and marks a turning point for researchers and
practitioners in career counseling and guidance, and for all
professionals who support the self-construction of individuals in
the 21st century. "The authors draw on a diverse range of
disciplines and research traditions and offer readers a rich array
of insights, helping them reflect on how career guidance can be
mobilised to serve citizens in a world that is increasingly
challenged by complex, seemingly intractable problems. A central,
crosscutting concern is the ways in which career guidance can
foster well-being by facilitating access to meaningful and
fulfilling work in contexts that promote equity, social justice,
and dignity for all. While engaging the micro-worlds of
individuals, and throwing light on their valiant efforts to design
a life that realises their hopes and aspirations, it is a
commendable feature of many of these papers that they do not eschew
the societal - indeed planetary - stage across which personal
dramas are enacted." Prof. Ronald G. Sultana, Director,
Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Educational Research, University of
Malta. "The primary strengths.....are the authors' capacity to
provide forward thinking perspectives on the important issue of
sustainable lifelong interventions and career design in its
broadest sense. The volume offers depth in a way of thinking that
is pertinent to the 21st century and provokes both an in interest
in the further study of this domain as well as providing tools and
references for novice and experienced researchers and
professionals. The book is sure to become a major text in the
field." Prof. Maurice Taylor, Faculty of Education, University of
Ottawa, Canada
