Abstract
The article reviews career guidance
as a support mechanism for professional education and considers it as a
necessary tool to choose the right career. The need of providing advisory
service to young people and adolescents regarding professional guidance,
identifying strengths and weaknesses, realizing one’s interests and
inclinations may arise at various stages of life: after the completion of basic
level, finishing secondary school, starting a professional career, changing a
job, career planning, starting a family, unemployment. In each of these
situations young people and adolescents may need help from professional
consultants.
Within the scope of the article secondary
and tertiary level students and parents from Georgia have been surveyed. The
questionnaires were designed to identify students’ and parents’ attitudes
towards professional orientation classes, how they evaluate the importance of
career guidance at school, which grades they consider most suitable for
professional orientation classes. The survey attempts to find out who gives
advice to Georgian secondary-level students when making career choices from
students’ and parents’ perspectives. Tertiary level students were also surveyed
in an attempt to find out what or who influenced them when choosing careers and
to evaluate their satisfaction with their decisions. It also looks at the level
of parents’ involvement in the implementation of professional guidance at
schools.
Through the analysis and processing
of qualitative questionnaires we summed up the main challenges and problems
that hinder making meaningful career choices. The article draws up some
conclusions and recommendations important for Georgian environment.
