Empower citizens through lifelong career guidance centres
Citizens are at the core of the integrated model of lifelong career guidance centres. Principles are based on anonymous right, free of charge services to anyone, no appointment in career counselling, multi-services of information and counselling in career management including event about professions. It offers a neutral place of collaboration between stakeholders in the fields of education training, employment, entrepreneurship, etc. Professionals working in CItés des métiers have been helping people to learn by themselves and how to active/develop in a non-formal way their skills: soft skills, digital skills.
Cités des métiers can be seen as an advanced one-stop-shop model in lifelong career guidance. PES Network has recently seen cross-sectoral partnerships in one-stop-shop as an opportunity to provide more innovation and quality of services to citizens.
