Career guidance is a fundamental policy lever to help adults successfully navigate a constantly evolving labour market through advice and information on job and training opportunities. The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of career guidance services. Many adults have lost their jobs and require assistance navigating their career options in a changing labour market, where firms are likely to accelerate the adoption of digital technologies in the name of pandemic-proofing. But compared to career guidance services for youth, services for adults receive relatively little policy attention, and little is known of how often existing services are used.

"Career Guidance for Adults in a Changing World of Work" report by OECD scopes out initiatives in the area of career guidance for adults in OECD countries, drawing lessons on how to strengthen adult career guidance systems in terms of coverage and inclusiveness, provision and service delivery, quality and impact, and governance and funding. The findings of the report build on the information collected through the 2020 Survey of Career Guidance for Adults (SCGA), an online survey of adults’ experience with career guidance.

“A top sports career requires enormous effort and dedication from you as an athlete. If you are involved in top sport, I can well imagine that preparing for life after top sport is not your first priority. Yet that step will come 'someday' we want to offer you a helping hand to make the transition easier.”

Bruno Bruins
The Netherlands' Former Minister for Medical Care and Spor

A very small percentage of young athletes make a living out of the professional sport. According to the NCAA, fewer than two per cent of student-athletes become professional athletes. For the rest, academics prepare them for life after college. Can personal finance status be one of the reasons for this low participation?

When it comes to fighting climate change, large sporting events have struggled to win any prizes. Fans travelling to just one European Cup match this year are estimated to have generated nearly 5,600 tonnes of CO2.
Next year’s football tournament may be even more polluting with matches played all across the continent, instead of in just one host nation, to celebrate the competition’s 60th anniversary. But that is all about to change as sporting authorities act to reduce their carbon footprint.

The Hague Has Been Awarded the Title of Sports Capital of Europe 2022 by the Organization ACES Europe for a Year.

The award has been officially received on 2nd March 2022 Wednesday evening from ACES. (the European Association of Sports and Municipalities).

More than a year ago, The Hague applied for being the European sports capital for 2021. After the evaluation, the Hague outdistanced Lisbon, Portugal and gained the title of Capital of Sports.

Each year cities compete during the year to become the best city by preparing a summary file of activities which will be evaluated by an independent body. The award presents the opportunities, best sports policies and practices for communities to unite throughout the world under the same flag of sport and health for all with the international events.

Athletes often face challenges to combine their sporting career with education or work. Not only high levels of motivation, commitment, resilience and responsibility from the athlete, but also special arrangements are needed to avoid the situation where talented and elite sportspeople are forced to choose between education and sport or work and sport. Such "dual career" arrangements should be beneficial for athletes' sporting careers, allow for education or work, promote the attainment of a new career after the sporting career, and protect and safeguard the position of athletes.
