The Cedefop online inventory of the national lifelong guidance systems records aims to provide insights on current policy developments and structures pertaining to career guidance, career education and career development in the EU member states, the EEA, EFTA and the EU enlargement/accession countries.

The country records available are based on information collected and analysed by CareersNet experts during their respective mandate period, while Cedefop reviews, lightly edits, and maintains the Inventory for public use and as a basis for network activities such as drafting papers and for cross-country comparisons. CareersNet is Cedefop’s network of independent experts in career guidance and career development, managed within the Lifelong guidance project area of the Department for VET and Skills.
