Grammar school students need help in learning about themselves, their professional and study interests
From my experience, I believe that students require help in learning about themselves and their professional and study interests. Such training should become a part of education and curriculum and should not be organized mainly as an extracurricular activity, because grammar school students are already overburdened by school work.
For counsellors it would be very useful to regularly meet with representatives of different ministries and social organizations, who would update them on the economic situation and future trends in connection to employment opportunities, both in Slovenia and EU.
Career planning material is extensive abroad (e.g. in the United Kingdom), but sparse in Slovenia. The only psychological test transferred into e-form and is available also to non-psychologists is outdated. In this field there is a great lack of accessible, easy-to-use tests.
New material needs to be developed and the material already available needs to be accessible also to counsellors outside the Employment Service of Slovenia. Different ministries need to co-operate (Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs, Ministry of Education and Sports and Ministry of Higher Education and Science) and yearly conferences on employment, education and counselling organized as well as post-graduate programme for career guidance.
