2nd ESVDC Webinar, September 29, 2022 CAREER GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING AND MIGRATION CHALLENGES: THE POINT OF VIEW OF INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARS
On September 29, 2022, the ESVDC organized its 2nd webinar, with the aim to pursue the critical, transnational, and comparative perspective that characterized the 2021 edition.

The 2nd webinar focused on how countries deal with migration challenges, from the point of view of vocational designing and career counseling. International scholars from several countries addressed the following questions:
• What are the main immigration issues faced in the country?
• What are the main policies/debates about immigration within the social context of the country?
• Who are the stakeholders who deal with these questions?
• To what extent does career guidance and counseling contribute to these questions?
• How could career guidance and counseling play a more important role in addressing migration challenges?
The webinar opened with a keynote address from Prof. Hazel REID, recipient of the 2022 ESVDC Award for Distinguished Contributions to Vocational Designing and Career Counselling. Prof. Reid’s talk, titled “Minding the gap between rhetoric and practice when advocating for a ‘human needs approach’ to career counselling and guidance in a context of global crisis”, is available in the present newsletter. Presentations from scholars from seven countries followed the keynote. Presentations from scholars from seven countries followed the keynote. The summaries of the presentations are provided below.
