The issue of social justice has been central to the concerns and actions of career guidance and counselling professionals since its creation. Access to education and vocational training, the question of the resources needed to make an appropriate choice, and the ways in which such a choice should be defined, have been theorised by many authors. The study of life and career paths raises the question of life-and career transitions and how an individual can manage them. Educational and vocational guidance has always been seen as a collective resource promoting individual well-being as well as social and professional integration. In an uncertain world, where individuals are facing a fluid and dynamic reality, and where they must face a succession of transitions that are moments of vulnerabilities. Thus, it is important to provide support to help individuals to manage these transitions, by providing them continuous training, lifelong learning, but also lifelong guidance and counselling (Rossier et al., 2020).
Considering the important and numerous contemporary challenges such as global warming and the necessity of an ecological transition, it is important to consider in our practice ecological consideration (Rossier, Tacchini, & Udayar, in press). If career guidance and counselling take ecological justice also into account, it would be important in ensuring that this theme is systematically raised during our interventions. Of course, this can take a variety of forms, from simply discussing the impact of climate change on the job market, to a more ambitious reflection on the ethical aspects of our professional choices. In this regard, we can combine sustainable careers and ecological sustainability (Masdonati & Rossier, 2021). Finally, our profession should also get involved at a more political level to ensure that our educational, guidance and economic promotion policies also consider aspects associated with ecological justice.
