Abstract: In the current socio-economic context and given the situation that adolescents and young people face when accessing the labor market, a firm and coordinated response is needed at all levels in order to assure good career guidance. There is a contrast between the enormous challenges that we face today and both the fact that educational laws in recent history have failed to incorporate substantial changes regarding career guidance, as well as the scarce resources that are allocated to career guidance in education. It is evident that there is a need for a strong commitment to quality career guidance at school, a context in which teachers have a prominent role when it comes to positively influence their students’ decision-making process. This text offers a classification and practical examples of how to integrate career guidance in different subjects in secondary education. Teachers’ activities should be aligned with the school’s strategic plan regarding career guidance and assume a competency-based approach, in order to allow students to develop educational, labour and career management competencies.
