The centre’s work is based on the results of Finnish and international evaluation research.</p> <p>The Centre examines lifelong guidance at a macro level in three dimensions: as a <em>policy</em>, as an <em>activity</em> of individual organisations or networked services (sometimes in collaborative contracts between the public administration and the private and voluntary sectors), and as an individual <em>process</em>. As citizens progress in constructing their life or career, they may look for services from several professional groups or service providers. There is a need to develop consistent networked lifelong guidance services across sectors in order to assure quality, guarantee access and social equity in accordance with local cultural, economic and social contexts.</p> <p>The Centre works with relevant ministries, authorities and stakeholders in order to promote more effective policy development and more consistent and coherent guidance services. The Centre hosts national webinars and hosts a clearing house of national research and development projects in the field of lifelong guidance.</p> <h3>Looking for guidance practitioner training?</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/aokk/haaga-helia-school-professional-teacher-education" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">School of Vocational Teacher Education - Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://www.hamk.fi/en/degree/professional-guidance-counsellor-education/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">Student counsellor education - HAMK University of Applied Sciences</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.uef.fi/en/philosophical-faculty" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">School of Educational Sciences and Psychology - University of Eastern Finland</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://www.jamk.fi/en/apply-to-Jamk/study-counsellor-education/specialise-in-study-counselling" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">Study counsellor education - JAMK University of Applied Sciences</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://www.jyu.fi/en/edupsy/okl" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">The Guidance and Counselling Education and Research Unit - University of Jyväskylä</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://oamk.fi/en/study-at-oamk/school-of-profesional-teacher-education/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">School of Vocational Teacher Education - Oulu University of Applied Sciences</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://www.tuni.fi/en/about-us/school-of-professional-teacher-education" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">Vocational Teacher Education TAMK University of Applied Sciences</a></li> <li><a class="external-link" href="https://www.abo.fi/en/about-abo-akademi-university/faculties/faculty-of-human-and-social-sciences/department-of-education/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" target="_blank">Vocational education - Åbo Akademi University</a></li> </ul> <br/> <br/> <h3>Articles from visiting experts</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://peda.net/id/6dc67a68c17a1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">James P.
