Career Guidance and Counselling Training for High School Seniors
High School for Economy and Trade, Požarevac
The training helps students to make independent decisions about career

by focusing on following processes: identifi cation of their interests, abilities
and skills; learning more about educational possibilities; understanding the
importance of the information analysis process. Workshop facilitators are the
school pedagogues, teachers and peer educators. Parents are included in some
workshops as well. The evaluation includes written evaluation questionnaire
and a self-assessment of skills, abilities and interests.
This practice was awarded since this is a good example of the holistic approach
in planning and realisation of the activities by high school career guidance
teams, which is the model for provision of guidance services in high schools in
Republic of Serbia. The activities clearly contribute to development of career
management skills of pupils, employ varied resources, involve parents and
combine individual and group activities.
