The COST Action Critical perspectives on career and career guidance (COCAG) can announce that it will hold its first training school at DSW University of Lower Silesia, 2^nd to 6^th June 2025.

The COCAG (Critical perspectives on career and career guidance) project is a COST Action, which aims at gathering scholars across Europe and beyond to explore how careers are changing in the contemporary world and consider what response is required from public policy and practice. This training school will foster debate around individuals’ careers in the changing reality and times of crises. It will enhance deeper understanding of policy makers and career guidance and counselling practices’ critical responses to current challenges.

The Summer School will be hosted by Anna Bilon-Piórko, Rie Thomsen (University of Lower Silesia), and Tristram Hooley (COST project coordinator). The programme consists of readings, keynote presentations, collective academic supervision, reflections on a research career, and international collaboration.

We will welcome applications from current doctoral researchers and from established researcher who wish to propose a workshop as part of the training school. All documents and further information are included below.
