The link between academic motivation and vocational guidance work is rarely raised in specialized literature. The study presented has revealed a significant positive influence of individual vocational guidance work with adolescents on their academic motivation. The authors studied the change in academic motivation of 14-18 year-old adolescents after vocational guidance work, assessed it qualitatively, and compared influence of two popular methods of occupational guidance upon academic motivation of adolescents comparing these results with PROF.Navigator author’s method of occupational guidance. More efficiency of the author’s method has been proved, in terms of the influence on the level of academic motivation of adolescents due to a thorough psychological and professional diagnosis, a more extensive vocational guidance work, and a lasting impact of vocational guidance work.
