Rie Thomsen's paper for the 2006 International Symposium on Career Development and Public Policy, Sydney Australia

In Denmark great importance has recently been placed on career guidance in relation to the recognition of prior learning as a means of increasing labour force participation rates to boost the economy. This paper explores these assumptions about the effects of such career guidance and asks: How do Danish policymakers picture career guidance in terms of increasing labour force participation rates? How do they see the role of career development services in relation to recognition of prior learning? How can career development programmes and services such as recognition of prior learning support lifelong learners who are willing and committed to actively engage in the labour market?
