Abstract
In the author’s opinion, traditional education and training systems have failed to equip youth and adults for the continual life and work transitions they will face beyond graduation. The way people prepare for life and work transitions is changing, as are the goals of career education and counselling. The focus is shifting from an emphasis on helping people choose an occupational goal, then develop plans to meet its educational and training prerequisites, to also helping them learn essential life/work skills they need to be satisfied, self-reliant citizens, able to make the most of the myriad transitions life will present.
