Career professionals cooperate with other organisations providing guidance services to develop regional multisectoral guidance services and share good practices. Multisectoral cooperation examines the relationship networks of organisations and stakeholders providing guidance services, the differences between organisations' tasks and relationships, and the interface of services and jointly provided collective services. In multisectoral networking, career professionals cooperate with actors and stakeholders in different administrative sectors at different phases of individual and group guidance processes.

The career professional has knowledge and understanding of

• the importance of the jointly agreed overall goals for regional guidance services
• the importance of mutual agreement and knowledge formation
• regional service user groups and region-specific demand and need for guidance
• partners and stakeholders and their possible expectations regarding the outcomes of guidance
• key stakeholders and service providers responsible for organising guidance and their areas of expertise
• special characteristics of local guidance service providers in the need for referrals
• their organisation’s core tasks and its boundaries in a regional multidisciplinary guidance service network
