Abstract

Career guidance is essential in the training of educational interveners at the undergraduate level, because it enables them to identify their interests, skills and strengths, and to make informed decisions about their future professional careers. Educational interveners can work with people at different stages of their development, from early childhood to secondary education, in informal or formal education, and can play a crucial role in the guidance of adults in liaison with institutions in the social sphere. Educational interveners are prepared for the design, management and evaluation of projects and processes related to people who require an education professional. Currently, they have been allowed to join the educational field as teachers in front of a group at the primary level, through the competitive examination applied by the federal authority.
