HOW IS THE PROFESSIONALIZATION OF COCG ORGANISED?
Initial Training and Further training of
career orientation teachers and
career guidance teachers/students advisors
in secondary education
In principle, career guidance/career orientation in Austrian schools is organised according to a three-level model:
career orientation lessons are provided by career teachers (providing curriculum delivery – working with the whole class – “teaching”)
individual advice is provided by student advisors (individual attention to students); and both of these are supplemented by
a School Psychology Service that can offer specialised assistance. The service is supplemented by classroom teachers and a wide range of other individuals and agencies outside the school context.
