Abstract

This paper proposes a theoretical review of career counseling services with a focus on identifying the benefits of these services in the complex process of adapting to the changing requirements of the labor market. For individulas, career counseling services are part of the process of lifelong learning process and for companies they are part of human resources eficiency. We do that because even if such specific actions were practically already applied in Romanian companies, there is an actual recognized need for certification and standardization which allows us to integrate into the European trend. Using scientific methods and tools for identifying the skills and competencies of workers, the services of career counseling help employees to find the efficient career pathway, in a systematic plann so as to finally contribute to the 'intersection' of goals and development requirements of the organization with personal preferences and skills of workforce.
