Career development and guidance for adolescents is a crucial psychological and pedagogical process aimed at supporting young individuals in making informed career choices and developing a realistic understanding of their abilities, interests, and future professional paths. During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive, emotional, and social changes that directly influence their career aspirations and decision-making processes. This study examines the theoretical foundations and practical importance of career guidance in adolescence, emphasizing the role of psychological support, educational environments, and socio-cultural factors. The article highlights the necessity of systematic career guidance programs that foster self-awareness, motivation, and adaptability, enabling adolescents to successfully navigate the challenges of career planning in a rapidly changing labor market.
