During ‘16-’17, the pilot project was integrated in the be)
standard operation of the school advisory service
and the permanent CLB support unit. A new group of
schools and CLBs were supported in the development
of their (school) career guidance policy and practice, via
an integrated change traject (an approach tailored to
the school and CLB involved, involving process guid-
ance and underlying professionalisation initiatives). Recent Developments in Guidance - Belgium | Chapter 1 | Policy initiatives, networks and working groups

Sharing of expertise in (school) career guidance
amongst schools was stimulated by collective learning
events (poster fair, learning network, etc...). The regional
partnerships GO!-VDAB also acted as a forum for good
practice presentations by schools.

In 2017-2018, the project is being expanded to a new
group of schools and their CLBs. Previous participants
are still supported via learning networks. Also, the
professional development programme will expand fur-
ther to include career interview training and ‘data-based’
working.

RESULTS AND IMPACT

40 schools and their CLB have now been reached, with a
balanced distribution across the provinces.
Within the school advisory service and the permanent
CLB support unit, (school) career guidance anchors were
professionalised.
