Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the factors affecting career guidance and their reflections of the career guidance services given in the country. Based on a literature review, it is known that career guidance services can be a part of economic and social development. In the present study, these factors are analyzed under these headings as the structure of the region, economic conditions (labor force of the country and employment), historical and socio-cultural factors (family structure, changing values) and educational factors. Moreover, it is emphasized that the country is the only secular country and only candidate for the European Union membership among the Muslim communities. After drawing a framework with these factors, the state of the country in guidance services and its reflections abroad were investigated. It is of great importance to draw the attention to such issues in Turkey and to develop “career guidance programs” as in developed countries.
