Call for volunteers

Are you a native speaker of German?

The International Journal of Educational and Vocational Guidance is continually in need of volunteers to translate article abstracts. We are currently in need of additional volunteers who can translate English-language abstracts into German. Typically, volunteers translate one 100-word abstract once every month or two, for a total of less than 10 abstracts a year. In exchange for this valuable service to our scientific community, your name will be listed in our masthead and you will receive free access to the journal. We can also provide a testimonial letter about your involvement with the journal if needed. A degree of familiarity with the domain is needed, but translators who are at the stage of being a doctoral candidate are already welcome.

Conference

2023 IAEVG International Conference: Lifelong Development as A Standard

The Hague, The Netherlands 28 to 30 June 2023

The Dutch Association of Guidance Counsellors (Noloc) together with Euroguidance and the Open University, is organizing the 45th global IAEVG conference. The theme of the conference will be Life Long Development as a standard. The labor market is changing rapidly. Old professions disappear, new ones take their place and are developing faster and faster. People need to adapt at a pace that matches those developments. Also challenges like sustainability and climate change requires that people constantly acquire new knowledge and skills. The key is to stay on top of these developments by learning and development. The conference will be an interesting international meeting on a social, cultural, and intellectual level to discuss about this theme.
