Euroguidance Network Webinar „Empowering clients in their careers: Using online labour market information, tools and resources” 

 Date: 14 November 2025 @ 11.30 AM – 1.00 PM (CET) 

 About the Topic

Where can we consult reliable labour market information (LMI)?

How can career practitioners support young people and adults to access labour market information and use it to make informed career decisions?

A large amount of labour market information is available online (websites, databases, social media, apps, …). How can we navigate through this and use resources that are essential for lifelong guidance in Europe today? Career practitioners have an important role in supporting clients to use information resources in a meaningful way. They need skills to integrate labour market information in lifelong guidance, and to interpret the information for education and guidance purposes, so they can empower clients effectively.

Are you working as a guidance counsellor?

Then join us in this Euroguidance Network webinar to find out more about LMI and to learn from inspiring good practice examples.  Euroguidance is delighted to present an exciting programme with experts and guidance professionals throughout Europe.
