Foreword

Europe continues to face profound transitions—from digitalisation and green transformation to demo-
graphic change and evolving labour markets. In this context, accessible and high-quality career guidance
is essential to support citizens throughout their learning and working lives. Euroguidance plays a vital role
in making this vision a reality.

The 2023-2024 Euroguidance “Highlights” Yearbook reflects a vibrant and collaborative network that is
committed to professional excellence, innovation, and equity. Through its support for learning mobility,
capacity-building of guidance professionals, and the development of practical resources, the network has
reinforced its position as a cornerstone of the EU’s guidance ecosystem.

The activities in 2024 took place under the banner of the European Year of Skills, a timely initiative aimed
at empowering individuals and boosting Europe's competitiveness. The Euroguidance Network has con-
tributed meaningfully to this effort - notably through transnational peer learning, stakeholder engagement,
and the development of tools that help individuals recognize and build their skills across borders.

Whether through the advancement of digital guidance, sustainability in career development, or the
strengthening of inclusion and accessibility, the Euroguidance Network has shown its ability to anticipate
and respond to the challenges of today’s world of Lifelong Learning and work. The results of the 2023
stakeholder survey confirm the network’s strong impact on competence development and collaboration
within the guidance community.

DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion is proud to support the work of Euroguidance. We thank all
national centres and their staff for their professionalism and commitment. As Europe continues to navigate
complex changes, we look forward to continued cooperation in promoting lifelong guidance and skills
development for all.
