Preparing Students for the Future: Current Challenges and Future Directions in University Career Counseling

Career counseling and career guidance at universities faces complex challenges: new forms of work and emerging technologies are reshaping required qualifications; curricula and employers’ expectations do not always align; and advising must increasingly respond to very diverse needs — from first generation and international students to people with disabilities. At the same time, many career centers grapple with limited personnel and financial resources, which make sustainable support difficult. In our track we provide a space for peer exchange to share experiences, discuss concrete solutions, and develop strategies for fairer, future proof advising services. 

  

Please review our draft agenda. As this is a preliminary version, the program remains subject to change and will be further developed in the coming months, also taking into account participants’ input.

Participation in this program is limited to a maximum of 25 participants.

The application period will end on 26 January 2026. As we usually receive more applications than available places, the motivation questions in the application form are an important part of the selection process – we therefore kindly ask you to complete them carefully. The program is designed for active participation, and contributions from participants are warmly welcomed.
