Description: The need to improve policies, systems and practices for guidance in Europe was stressed by the Council Resolution on lifelong guidance, which identified as priorities: widening access to guidance services; improving quality assurance mechanisms; refocusing guidance provision to empower individuals to manage their own careers and learning, and strengthening structures for policy development at national and regional levels involving a range of key players.  This report aims to document how much progress is being achieved in reforming career guidance provision.  All European Union member states plus Norway have reported on the extent to which they have addressed the five priority areas identified in the Council Resolution.  The report outlines significant developments, trends and challenges of guidance systems and policies, and identifies interesting practice from which policy-makers and practitioners can draw inspiration.--Publisher's description.
