The article presents counselling as an activity that supports socialisation processes. Lifelong career counselling helps young people prepare for vocational and life-related roles and aims to assist an individual in developing competencies one needs to function effectively on the labor market. One of such competencies is professional mobility, which is a typical marker of contemporary biographies called boundaryless career.
