4. Hungarian topic: career guidance & cooperation, coordination • Although we have a rich history in the field of CG LifeLong Guidance is new • There is no common understanding (e.g. career management skills, career portfolio, role of the teachers …) • Sectors are working in parallel • No data at national level (missing performance indicators, staff size, QA-standards…)

5. The Hungarian S.O.P. pointed out • The main problem is the lack of central ownership of the career guidance policy as well as the unified regulation and financing mechanism. • The current Hungarian system does not connect career guidance service providers with each other.
