Torre, who initiated the study, and Mr Mika Launikari, who was responsible for overall
supervision, and of Mrs Lyn Barham of the National Institute for Careers Education and

based, together with her research team;
Thanks are to be extended to the many country contributors who gave much help with this
study (Annex 2) as well as to the members of the European Lifelong Guidance Policy
Network who provided precious feedback on the draft report.
Finally, thanks are due to Christine Nychas from Cedefop for her technical support in
preparing this publication.
This publication provided valuable input and inspiration for debates at the subsequent
Cedefop peer learning event on Quality in career guidance and counselling: towards
European frameworks for the training and competence of career guidance practitioners
(Thessaloniki, October 2008). Further, this report is part of Cedefop’s scientific contribution
to the IAEVG conference on Coherence, cooperation and quality in guidance and counselling
(Jyväskylä, June 2009).
