GUIDE - Upgrading the skills of professionals for gender sensitive career guidance

The project GUIDE focuses on the issue of gender & career development and the continuing barriers to achieving equality of opportunity in this area. It tackles discriminant practices and offers a timely contribution to mitigating existing imbalances in the access to career opportunities that persists today across gender.

The project also contributes to achieving higher education institutions’ goals of building inclusive higher education systems, by developing tools and methods, to support the development of gender-sensitive career pathways

GUIDE seeks to:

• Support professionals responsible for career guidance to review and overcome prejudices based on traditional gender roles that can limit choices and hinder aspirations
• Develop gender-sensitive career counselling tools for helping all genders to make better career choices
• Train career counsellors and teachers to improve their knowledge of gender inequalities in career guidance and to develop gender awareness
• Develop a toolkit to help career counsellors and teachers advise all genders without stereotypes
