The program is implemented regularly and each year brings together youth workers, educators, and other professionals who wish to systematically integrate career-related content into their work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The training focuses on content that enables participants to gain a comprehensive understanding of career guidance and its role in youth work. The program includes the basics of psychological counseling, an introduction to career guidance, communication and coaching approaches, innovative working methods, and ways to meaningfully integrate career guidance into the regular work of organizations. Special attention is also given to future competences and the use of artificial intelligence, allowing participants to stay in touch with current trends and tools in the field.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The training is based on interactive non-formal learning methods such as group work, role-playing, reflection, and the use of educational tools \u2013 including the game <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/mreza-kroj.si\/kam-zdej\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where to now?<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, developed within <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mreza-kroj.si\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the KROJ Network.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This approach allows participants to directly connect new knowledge with their own practice and adapt it to the needs of the young people they work with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the key strengths of the program is its practical orientation.
