Career Guidance for Adults in Canada
In the context of considerable labour market change, many adults in Canada are being
challenged to consider alternative career paths, and to upskill or retrain. Career
guidance has the potential to facilitate employment transitions: not only from the
education system to the labour market, but also from unemployment to employment, and
from declining to growing sectors. This study assesses the career guidance services
that are available for adults in Canada, and puts them into an international perspective.
New survey data show that Canada performs well in an OECD comparison with respect
to the quality of career guidance, but there is room to strengthen the provision and
accessibility of services. The report provides concrete recommendations to encourage
greater and more inclusive use of adult career guidance, and to promote high-quality
service provision.
