Career management skills are an important part of success on the labour market. It is essential to develop them already at the level of primary education. They represent a set of competences that provide a structural way for individuals to collect, analyse, synthesize and organize information about themselves, about education and the labour market - especially, the knowledge of strengths, weaknesses, needs and requirements of the individual, the ability to identify relevant opportunities, the access to information about career possibilities, the ability to plan and make decisions related to one´s career, the ability of self-presentation related to access to education or to work and the ability to establish relationships.
Career management skills were defined for the first time at the European level in the Resolution of the Council and of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States, meeting within the Council of 21 November 2008 on better integrating lifelong guidance into lifelong learning strategies (2008/C 319/02).

- support the acquisition of lifelong career management skills,
- improve the access to consulting services for all citizens,
