The course focuses on career education and career guidance in the context of contemporary changes in the world of work and their significance for the prevention of early school leaving. It is based on European and national concepts, strategies, and research findings that reflect changing understandings of career development, the importance of lifelong learning, and the need to develop career competences already during compulsory education. Attention is paid to early school leaving as a long-term and complex process influenced by individual, family, school, and broader social factors. The course focuses on the identification of pupils at risk of school failure, principles of individualised support, and the use of career guidance as a key preventive tool. An important part of the course is the introduction of concrete career guidance tools, the process of transition planning, and examples of good practice from the Czech Republic and other European countries. The course links theoretical foundations with their application in school, counselling, and socio-pedagogical practice.
