El doble propósito de este OIT (Oficina Internacional de Trabajo) Manual es: (1) focalizar la atención hacia quienes formulan políticasy administran programas en países de bajos y medianos ingresos (PBMI) sobre los temas básicos de la reforma de los servicios de orientación profesional en dichos países; y (2) brindar a los planificadores y especialistas de los programas a nivel nacional y local una amplia variedad de ejemplos de diferentes países y herramientas prácticas de orientación profesional para emplear como modelos para su posible adaptación y uso. El Manual se divide en dos partes que abordan cada uno de estos objetivos.
La primera parte comienza con una revisión de las tendencias internacionales actuales en materia de orientación profesional en los países de altos ingresos y comenta acerca de la pertinencia de esas tendencias en países de bajos y medianos ingresos. En segundo lugar, se presenta un marco de seis elementos clave que deben considerarse en el desarrollo de un sistema de orientación profesional. Estos elementos son: (1) comprensión del contexto de país; (2) desarrollo de la información profesional; (3) promoción de la elección, búsqueda y mantenimiento del trabajo; (4) organización de la oferta de servicios; (5) desarrollo del personal para apoyar la prestación de servicios; y (6) mejoramiento de la gobernabilidad y la coordinación. En tercer lugar, el Manual integra varias prácticas ilustrativas de países en el debate de cada uno de los seis elementos clave. Estas prácticas también sirven por sí solas como lecciones aplicables en la búsqueda de soluciones en la vida real a los desafíos de las políticas públicas.
La segunda parte del Manual indica sitios web específicos de Internet sobre la orientación profesional. Estos sitios incluyen: (1) un inventario de las herramientas y recursos sobre orientación profesional disponibles en Internet de diversos países de altos, medianos y bajos ingresos; y (2) referencias más generales, tales como las normas de competencia internacionales para especialistas de la orientación profesional y normas para el desarrollo de información profesional. La información sobre orientación profesional y las herramientas para el desarrollo de competencias en Internet han proliferado durante los últimos diez años y la accesibilidad a esta información por parte de un público internacional proporciona una ventana sobre las prácticas actuales a nivel mundial. Se pone particular atención en la inclusión de recursos en uso en la actualidad en los países de bajos y medianos ingresos.

The dual purpose of this ILO (International Labour Organisation) Handbook is: (1) to focus the attention of policy-makers and programme administrators in low- and middle-income countries upon the core issues in the reform of career guidance services in those countries; and (2) to provide programme planners and practitioners at the national and local levels with a wide variety of country examples and practical career guidance tools to use as models for possible adaptation and use. The Handbook is divided into two parts to address each of these objectives.
Part I first reviews current international trends in career guidance in high-income countries and comments on the relevance of these trends in low- and middle-income countries. Second, a framework is presented of six key elements to be taken into account in the development of a career guidance system. These elements are: (1) understanding the country context; (2) development of career information; (3) promotion of work choice, search and maintenance skills development; (4) organization of service delivery; (5) staff development to support service delivery; and (6) improvement of governance and coordination. Third, the Handbook integrates a number of illustrative country practices into the discussion of each of the six key elements. These practices also stand on their own as applicable lessons in real-life solutions to public policy challenges.
Part II of the Handbook indicates specific career guidance Internet web sites. These comprise:
(1) an inventory of career guidance tools and resources available on the Internet from a variety of high-, middle- and low-income countries; and (2) more general references, such as international competency standards for career guidance professionals and standards for career information development. Career guidance information and skills development tools on the Internet have proliferated in the last ten years, and the accessibility to this information by an international audience provides a window on current practices worldwide.
Particular attention is given to including resources currently in use in low- and middle-income countries

This is the first major report from the Pathways and Prospects research study about pathway and career-related experiences and perspectives of young people after leaving school. Undertaken by the New Zealand Council for Educational Research, it investigates how young people make decisions about their careers and working life, including any part that indecision and “changes of heart” might play in that. This investigation raises some issues about the framework used in thinking about how to support young people in transition. It suggests we take more of a focus on career and identity production. Pathways and Prospects is a 4-year longitudinal study that asks: How do young people describe they are doing and what it means in their lives? How do they see themselves in relation to their pathways? What can we learn in relation to policies and practices? And where they might usefully go from here?
This report focuses on the processes and meaning of pathways choices. To see patterns around this more clearly, the researchers took an innovative approach to analysing the interviews narratives. They used a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to analyse the interviews in terms of the major choice themes of
security and exploration. Through quantitative analysis, the dimensions of security and exploration were clustered into Exploration, Contingent Security, and Secure Commitment factors, and the interviews clustered into four groups with distinct profiles: Hopeful Reactors, Confident Explorers, Anxious Seekers, and Passion Honers.

This research was undertaken in 2006/7 by the New Zealand Council for Educational Research on behalf of the Ministry of Education. The overall aim of this research is to contribute insight that will guide and support decisions about the direction, focus, and resourcing of careers education in New Zealand schools. It stands alone as baseline information about how schools organise careers education, how school principals view careers education, what careers staff think about their role and the purposes behind what they do, and the range of activities in which they engage students.

Cette publication présente les résultats d’un examen des politiques d’orientation professionnelle entrepris à partir du début de l’année 2001 dans 14 pays de l’OCDE sur deux continents. Il s’agissait de voir comment l’organisation, la gestion et le fonctionnement des services d’orientation professionnelle pouvaient contribuer à la réalisation de certains objectifs essentiels des politiques publiques. Il a porté en particulier sur la manière dont ces services peuvent aider les pays à progresser dans la voie de l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie et à mettre en oeuvre des politiques actives d’emploi.
Il s’est intéressé aux services d’orientation qui se situent tout au long de la vie et qui s’adressent aussi bien aux adultes et au troisième âge qu’aux jeunes. Il étudie ces services dans des contextes très variés : l’enseignement obligatoire, le deuxième cycle secondaire, l’enseignement tertiaire, les services locaux, le service public de l’emploi et l’entreprise. Il prend également en compte de manière très large les acteurs de l’orientation, non seulement les administrations, mais aussi les employeurs, les syndicats, les organisations locales, les institutions éducatives, les parents, les élèves/étudiants et les praticiens de l’orientation.
Les analyses de l’examen portent sur quatre questions principales :
-
Pourquoi l’orientation professionnelle a-t-elle une importance pour les politiques publiques? (chapitres 1 à 2)
-
Comment l’orientation peut-elle être organisée plus efficacement ? (chapitres 3 à 6).
-
Quelles ressources faut-il affecter à l’orientation ? (chapitres 7 et 8)
-
Comment améliorer les politiques publiques (chapitres 9 et 10)
