Abstract

The chapter focuses on exploring the potential of career coaching for young people as a supportive method for (a) determining a future career path after graduation (b) as a method with the potential to directly develop youth civic skills. Based on desk research and coaching experience, the authors processed an extensive database (600 respondents) of their own data identifying the attitudes, needs and problems of young people in these areas. The research sample consisted of high schools and universities students during 2018-2024, of which 200 in the so-called post-covid period (2022-2024). The result of the research is the presentation of the design of career coaching aimed at young people in the form of a presented casuistry of a model case. The secondary result is the identification of the link between career coaching and the development of citizenship skills. The chapter thus identifies links through the mapping of values in the creation and change of young people's careers from a wider - societal, civic point of view.
