Karierno odločanje mladih je zelo pomemben in hkrati kompleksen proces. Odločitev za izbiro poklica oziroma šole je vedno stvar mladostnika, kakovost njegove odločitve pa je odvisna tudi od podpore, ki je je deležen v času svojega šolanja. Namen članka je predstaviti pomembnost raznolike podpore, ki so je mladi deležni v procesu kariernega odločanja od šole in šolskih strokovnih delavcev, svojih staršev ter drugih deležnikov. V osrednjem delu članka bomo predstavili Karierni plac – Karierni center za mlade in osvetlili njegovo vlogo pri opolnomočenju mladih za načrtovanje in vodenje kariere. Članek bomo sklenili s konkretnimi predlogi in razmisleki, ki bodo šolskim strokovnim delavcem omogočili, da nove ideje na področju karierne orientacije preizkusijo tudi v svoji šolski praksi.
