The text brings closer the career (vocational) guidance issues in the context of the vocational education specificity. Liquid modernity, with multidirectional changes occurring at a great speed, and growing requirements of the competitive labour market have become fertile soil for the growth of all sorts of guidance services, i.e. activities that concern the entire human life and treat individuals in a holistic way. Being one of them, the career guidance has travelled a long way undergoing a paradigmatic change of its objectives and tasks and of other aspects, i.e. how a relation with a client starts or what methods are applied. Vocational school students are one of those groups where career structuring is in demand. Being a weak link in Poland’s education system before the economic and political system transformations of 1989, after this date the group actually has started drifting, losing to the growing educational aspirations and the boom of secondary education that opened the door to increasingly popular higher education. Current efforts to restore vocational education need to be coupled with career guidance services that are provided professionally to the present and future vocational school students. Assumptions of these career guidance activities do not seem to differ basically from the general assumptions applied in the holistic guidance, which does not mean that a search for methods suited to this group of young people should be discontinued.

At the time of an economic crisis and its psychological consequences the attitudes and activity of young adults, who are just starting their vocational life, are of great significance. Graduates from colleges and universities are a very important group among them. Their abilities have an impact upon the intellectual potential of the country’s economy, and consequently upon its novelty. The presented research concentrated upon the knowledge of graduates about ongoing changes and tendencies in the labour market, and their ability to communicate their needs in this respect. The study comprised 602 students of the final years of B.A. and M.A. studies, since they are confronted with making a decision concerning their future jobs. Decisions made at that time have a long-lasting influence on the quality of their life. It is therefore worthwhile to acquire better knowledge on the inner motives of their choices.

The text The Sense of Coherence in Career Structuring (a Context of Lifelong Development of an Individual) describes the salutogenetic concepts of health and sense of coherence by A. Antonovsky that serve as an inspiration for reflections about the structuring of an individual’s vocational career. The Sense of Coherence (SOC) is a global orientation that expresses the extent to which one has an enduring and dynamic feeling of confidence that: – stimuli coming throughout one’s lifetime from the internal and external environments are structured, predictable and explainable (the sense of comprehensibility – a cognitive component); – resources are at one’s disposal which are adequate to meet the demands posed by these stimuli (the sense of manageability – a cognitive-instrumental component); – these demands are challenges that are worth investing effort and engagement (the sense of meaningfulness – an emotional-motivational component); The essay presents a hypothesis that the Sense of Coherence, as it develops over one’s lifetime, may foster an effective structuring (planning and realisation) of one's vocational career. A bi-directional relation exists between the structuring of one’s high and stable sense of coherence and the development of the biographical thinking and shaping of one’s biographical competence. These competencies can be developed in the process of upbringing and education and fostered by vocational guidance, especially in its non-directive dimension (coaching, tutoring).
