CV building & career counseling with an emphasis on career guidance and youth skill development: Career Counseling and CV Development: Emphasis on Youth Skills and Professional Orientation

Abstract

This paper investigates how professional guidance and personalized CV development can enhance young people's employability. Through the examination of public and private training bodies, as well as European Union frameworks and Greek institutional structures, analyze key tools such as SWOT analysis, the role of formal and non-formal education, and vocational training. Particular emphasis is placed on the skill mismatch in the labor market and the initiatives undertaken by the European Commission and Greek authorities. These findings indicate that a combination of skills development, targeted counseling, and policy alignment is necessary for addressing youth unemployment.
