Cedefop is very pleased to announce the Eighth CareersNet annual meeting and related activities for the network on 13 and 14 November 2024 at Paviljonki Conference Centre, Lutakonaukio 12, in Jyväskylä (Finland). In partnership with the national Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, and kindly hosted by the University of Jyväskylä, the meeting this year,  attended by core network experts, will take place in person at the same venue and concurrently with the IAEVG international conference - Riding the Waves of Change, which is held from 12 to 14 November 2024.

CareersNet (coordinated at the Department of VET and Skills (DVS), managed within the Lifelong guidance project) will convene this year to discuss national systems and practice developments in lifelong guidance in the context of current labour market and societal changes at large with implications for EU and national policy. Topics also include CareersNet news and network issues, as well as Cedefop work activity since last year’s meeting, and plans and possibilities for the year ahead.

The meeting will allow for mutual learning, reflection, and exchange, contributing to the network’s think-tank value and capacity building function in the field of lifelong guidance. The agenda will also provide an opportunity to learn about the lifelong guidance system in Finland, while enjoying the local environment.

The meeting has restricted participation.
