ABSTRACT

This paper is based on an ongoing project that aims to promote future-oriented thinking and pro-activity among university students. The students, as well as the career counsellors in universities, need tools for career planning in order to anticipate and assess the future direction of their work life and their role in society. This project provides a future-oriented simulation tool for students as well as guidance tools for counselling personnel. The scientific outcome of our studies and the project will be a pedagogical model, whilst the practical outcome will be a virtual handbook for career counsellors. The project also predicts some long-term future scenarios on the development and changes in working life. As a final product we develop an online simulation tool for students in the career-planning process.

 Keywords:  future-oriented thinking, career planning, simulation tools
