The Network strives to bring its members together around dynamics of exchange and the sharing of practices and experiences.
As part of this effort, we have developed numerous tools to support career guidance professionals. These tools take the form of collections of innovative practices or thematic guides and toolkits.
Below, you’ll find many resources we’ve compiled over time.
Best practices guidebook .
The annual seminars are key events in the life of the Network. They allow the Cités des métiers to showcase and share their innovations. Each year, a guidebook compiling those innovations is published following these events.
Practical Guides .
To support the upskilling and adaptation of practices among career guidance professionals, the Network has designed several guides featuring innovative practices and practical tools addressing key challenges such as digital mediation, partnership management, and users consultation
The Digital Mediation Guidebook
This guide was created to help career guidance centers develop services in digital inclusion and to support the professionalization of digital counselor roles.
Vademecum on Multi-Partner Management in Lifelong Career Guidance
This guide is designed as a tool to raise awareness about the added value of working within an ecosystem of stakeholders. It offers advice and tools for professionals involved in partnership management to better develop and coordinate multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder ecosystems.
Portfolio of successful reception practices
This portfolio lists over a dozen innovations in reception management, covering accessibility and inclusion issues as well as the operational organization of reception services.
Guidebook on users consultation
Designed as a practical tool, this guide outlines, step by step, best practices, tips, and pitfalls to avoid when organizing a user consultation. It aims to support career guidance stakeholders in including beneficiaries in the design and planning of the services intended for them.
Thematic Guides .
These thematic guides were developed as part of the AMPLI project, with financial support from the European Social Fund. They combine testimonials, feedback, and practical advice around fundamental themes related to the management and implementation of a Cité des métiers, and more broadly, of any structure that claims to fulfill a public service mission.
