General Careers Europe
The Careers Europe website is offered in both English and French, with a simple site map aiding navigation around the system. Careers Europe aims to promote mobility of EU residents and is the lead partner in GUIDENET, which is an initiative funded by the EU Leonardo fund. Its main aim is to establish a European network of expertise in the field of guidance. It hopes to facilitate the networking of the guidance community and specifically build links with a “wide range of guidance and education organisations throughout the EU, EEA and pre-accession countries” (http://www.guidenet.org/English/WelcomeEng.htm). They identify their target group as “guidance counsellors, guidance organisations, policy makers and other actors in the guidance field at all levels nationally and transnationally”.
