CAREER MANAGEMENT SKILLS (CMS) enable citizens to manage their individual life paths in educa- tion, training and work across the lifespan. This ELGPN Tool is addressed to policy-makers who wish to develop a comprehensive national guidance policy with the focus on the acquisition of CMS. This need may arise in the light of the various lifelong guidance policies which exist in Europe, of closing existing gaps in the national provision, and in meeting future approaches to lifelong guidance. This tool is intended to support policy-makers in considering key questions in CMS-related policies by sharing insights, good practices and conclusions across the ELGPN member-countries.
