Professional counseling and career guidance

IDE is working on strengthening the connection of higher education with the labor market.

Through its activities and projects IDE is working on improving policies aimed at strengthening the connection of higher education with the labor market. Lifelong career guidance and career development and investment in education, especially higher education, contributes to addressing unemployment and increasing social inclusion. IDE promotes and advocates lifelong learning in its work, since permanent employability in the conditions of globalization can only be achieved through continuous education and training throughout the whole lifetime.
