Education, training and labour market systems are being increasingly challenged by global developments such as new and rapidly changing technologies, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, demographic changes and climate change. In this context there is a growing need for career development support to help people in managing their more frequent and complex transitions within and between education and work. At the same time, career development support - that is, lifelong career guidance and, in particular, career education and career development support for workers - itself faces challenges in adapting to the new circumstances. Changes in delivering and developing the innovation capacity of career development support services are required to achieve a deeper impact and empower individuals to manage their own career paths. Technology is already having an impact on traditional services, and the concept of career management skills is increasingly gaining ground, not only in Europe but also on other continents.
This research into the national career development support systems in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine aimed to help countries respond to the twin green and digital transitions, recover from [Coronavirus Disease 2019] COVID-19, and inform national policy and practice. Using individual national reports as its source, this regional synthesis report aims to provide a clear and concise outline of the state of the national career development support systems in the four covered countries, and to summarise key recommendations for developing the systems further. Moldova was reviewed by the ILO [report available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 147.374] so is not covered in this report. The ILO reviewed Armenia to a limited extent so ETF conducted another analysis to ensure an equal holistic review, which is included in this report.
