A structured training programme of 8 thematic modules plus an additional unit: bias awareness; personalised guidance; labour-market trends; career self-management; digital tools for guidance; ethics and professional conduct; stress management and burnout prevention; and life skills, competences and agency. Each module includes a presentation, exercises and case studies; available in EN, EL, ES, IT and FR. Co-developed by the partners through peer review, with module leads assigned by area of expertise.

These materials accompany the curriculum by bringing each module to life through practical application: for every module, it provides one real-world case study that illustrates key concepts in context, and one interactive activity designed to engage counsellors in hands-on reflection and skill-building.

Extra resources description: As a complement to the core curriculum, the extra resources offers additional practical tools for each module that counselors can draw on directly in their work.

The Needs Assessment Report consolidates evidence from 303 survey responses (career counsellors and disadvantaged adults) and 4 national focus groups (ES, IT, CY, GR) with 23 counsellors, plus desk research and a comparative synthesis. Findings are organised around five areas: training and skills; social barriers and biases; labour-market access; technology and digital tools; and emerging needs. Compiled by ADECCO, it grounds the whole curriculum in real-world challenges rather than assumptions.

A practical reference for career counsellors working with socially disadvantaged adults, built on the project’s field research. It distils the curriculum into a single, ready-to-use guide: recognising and countering biases (including in AI-driven applicant screening), delivering personalised guidance tailored to each client’s background and aspirations, and coaching clients toward career self-management. Includes techniques, checklists and counselling tools shaped by focus groups in Spain, Italy, Cyprus and Greece. Available in English, Greek, Italian, Spanish and French.
