ABSTRACT
Young students live in a society in which we adults present a number of inconsistencies which are difficult to explain, at least from a humanistic point of view an increase in inequality at a time of higher production potential, pressure towards cultural homogenisation in clearly multicultural environments, the impulse of nationalism running parallel with globalisation, the pessimism of youth in a society full of opportunities, etc. In this context, careers advisers must try to match their work to the needs of the individual, however, economic, social and family pressures push them and direct them towards approaches which are focused on the market rather than on the person, showing that more and more career advice methods are coming onto the scene with a remarkably consumerist dimension in their notion and in their practice. In this article, the author sets a series of principles and strategies through the analysis of these contradictions and their reflection on careers advice to design and put into practice education projects for studies which contribute to the training of students so that they can take their place, from the concept of citizenship, in the socio-economic transnational framework in which they have to live.
