Interaction between career designing and vocational training in Lithuania: solving the problem of the opportunity trap

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses interaction between the processes of career designing and vocational training in Lithuania. The analysis of the area of these interrelations focuses on their micro and macro context. The potential impact of the interaction between career guidance and vocational training is analysed and discussed by focussing on the problem of the opportunity trap and the potential of this interaction in solving the problem. The analysis has revealed that: 1) the area of interaction between career designing and vocational training can be analysed through different perspectives but the factors related to a person, the labour market, vocational training and state policy should be taken into consideration; 2) characteristics of the interaction between career designing and vocational training depend on the socio-economical and institutional models of vocational training; 3) the problem of the opportunity trap presents significant challenges to the systems of vocational training and career designing not only in developed but also in transitional economies (Lithuania); 4) existing and currently developed instruments and measures of vocational training and career designing in Lithuania can help to solve the problem of the opportunity trap, however, this is a long and complex process.
