They may be helped by professional support institutions. For some people, seeking professional help when facing a predicament is evidence of resourcefulness. Others, however, perceive a request for help as expressive of vulnerability and a lack of self-reliance in coping with life problems. In this article, we examine 15 interviews with low-skilled and low-educated people in Poland about their experiences with educational and vocational counselling as well as the relevance they attribute to past meetings with counsellors. Concluding, we formulate recommendations for Polish educational and vocational counselling.

Therefore, it is little wonder that in recent years the growth in demand for helping activities has been clearly discernible in most countries in the world. Supporting people’s efforts to construct their carriers at different stages of their lives is becoming one of the key tasks of present vocational guidance, which is more and more often (also in Poland) referred to as career counselling. This assignment makes the specialists dealing with helping people to construct their careers increasingly engaged in constant developing and adjusting the forms and ways of their assistance activities for continuously diversifying needs of their clients. On the other hand, it still remains important to answer the question of what the very notion of ‘career’ means to counselling investigators, practitioners and advice-seekers. In this article the author tries to give answers to the following questions: How is the term ‘career’ currently defined? What counselling measures are offered by counselling specialists? To answer the above questions the author shows the transformation of contemporary careers and outlines chosen theories of career counselling, especially the concepts of kaleidoscope career by Lisa A. Maniero and Sherry E. Sullivan, boundaryless career by Michael B. Arthur and Denise M. Rousseau, protean career by D.T. Hall and the model of intelligent career by Michael B. Arthur, Priscilla H.

practitioners and advice-seekers.
