Abstract
In modern society individuals are becoming responsible for their own work allocation. They have to acquire so-called ‘actor competences’. They have to learn to form their own identity, to determine a direction and to plan a career. However, the individual's shortage of actor competences confronts him or her with many problems; several institutions risk becoming overburdened by allocation or career problems. As a result, the role of the career counsellor must change from that of a ferryman to that of a pathfinder.Keywords
