In an increasingly dynamic labour market and rapidly changing society, non-linear career paths are becoming the norm rather than the exception. This raises an important question: how can we prepare young people for these paths, and what is the role of the school in cooperation with parents, educational administration, the social community or the world of work?

We invite submissions that investigate innovative, theoretically and empirically solid approaches to prepare young people for this transitional phase as well as support them during this process within school settings. Submissions can address guidance and support systems, curricula and school activities, or individual learning and development within a social context. We are particularly interested in contributions that enhance career learning for students, prepare teachers to coach and guide their pupils, design and assess school-based interventions, and critically examine the role of career guidance services in collaboration with schools..
