Today’s society is characterized by economic globalization, social and political changes, digitalization, variations in the world of work…, leading to reflection on the role of Career Guidance and Counselling (CGC) and the challenges to be faced by counsellors in the development of new competences for their professional practice. In the light of these changes, CGC and career development has to commit to social justice. Mobility counsellors should be prepared to network with other European organizations and to communicate within culturally different contexts, supporting individuals towards a social inclusion, considering the cultural diversity and particular circumstances in the host country. Our research identifies and analyzes professional counselling competences which guidance practitioners and counsellors involved in education and labour mobility sectors need/have within international mobility. Likewise, aims to develop a training model for supporting counsellors in their career development, improve their guidance service and lead to a higher quality of counselling for people who plan their mobility. To achieve these goals, an online survey was designed and implemented, aimed to identify the interests and needs (need analyses) of practitioners, involving a group of experts in mobility fields (EURES advisers, Euroguidance counsellors, etc.) Subsequently, is expected to offer a mobility guidance and counselling training module to provide guidance practitioners with the competences needed to assist individuals for an education and /or labour mobility in EU to make informed choices, exploring the whole process of mobility and to get the best out of their international experiences. Additionally, it is planned to develop a “Guide for the mobility counsellor” including the main skills, competences, knowledge and resources to raise the quality of the mobility processes with focus on the importance of integrating new cultural and professional learning into existing body of knowledge, so that participants’ skills should be more adjusted to the European labour market.
