THE INFLUENCE OF CAREER EDUCATION ON PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Career choice represents both a necessity and a challenge for the contemporary man. The option for a particular domain or socio‐professional status occurs from knowing and confronting personal principles, motivation, attitudinal characteristics, interests or other determinants specific to an individual. Current educational and professional backgrounds suffer major and continuous changes. They claim an increase in workload complexity, expanding knowledge, skills and abilities, improving communication skills, enforcing initiative and motivation in all activities, decision‐making capacity, as well as the presence of flexibility in adapting to different social and professional situations. All of them require career education as early as possible.
