Ireland: National Strategic Framework 2024-2030

While guidance services have long been in existence in the Irish context, this national strategic framework provides a vision for the conscious, systematic alignment of services throughout all sectors, along a continuum, recognising the diversity of supports required at different stages of education and career journeys. This strategic framework will therefore allow for a more visible, accessible, streamlined and complementary provision of guidance throughout Ireland.

The National Strategic Framework for Lifelong Guidance (2024-2030) outlines the vision, pillars, objectives and outcomes of lifelong guidance in Ireland over an eight-year term. It is accompanied by a Strategic Action Plan 2024 - 2030. The Actiona Plan outlines the strategic actions that will be undertaken at a national level, to achieve the identified outcomes.
