Success is more likely when individuals make decisions about what they are to learn in a
well‐informed manner; link what they learned to their interests, capacities, and aspirations, and
are then informed about the existing opportunities to which the learning can guide. Good
quality career information is a crucial factor for first-rate career decision-making. Career
information should include relevant information about education and training opportunities,
occupations and their characteristics; labor market supply and demand. Similarly, career
information should contain occupational implications of educational decisions and the learning
pathways that lead to particular occupational destinations. Career information is necessary, but
not sufficient for good‐quality career decision-making unless students have access to the
information they need, understand the information, relate it to their personal needs and
situation, and then convert it into personal action, with the help of professional counselors and
participation in career guidance related activities we have provided in schools.
