Intensive career guidance from A to Z: Chance for young NEETs
Podnik medzitrhu práce is a non-governmental organisation based in Banská
Bystrica that off ers supporting counselling programmes to young jobseekers.
In 2018, the project ‘Support for young jobseekers’ was launched to provide
15 unemployed under the age of 29 with an intensive career guidance for
the period of 6 months (from April till September 2018).

The programme was structured into series of individual and group sessions
oriented primarily on career guidance and development of social skills. Socio-
dynamic and coaching approaches were employed during the programme
while respecting individual needs and intellectual levels of clients. Michaela
Valicová, an experienced career advisor, took care of the whole delivery of the
programme and worked with clients on a daily basis.
Four career guidance workshops were organised (Who am I?; What do I want?;
My journey; How to write a good CV and letter of motivation?) with a focus
on improving clients’ self-knowledge, career orientation, career planning,
and providing them with insights into dynamics of recruitment and job
interview processes. Since most of the clients came from socially challenging

environments, the programme combined career guidance with elements of
social work and tutoring.
