Abstract. Ireland's economy has experienced phenomenal growth over the last ten years, in particular in the ICT sector. With today's rising global competition, Ireland faces the challenge of sustaining this growth, particularly in the software sector. A core component of this challenge is to produce a steady stream of qualified graduates in the ICT area. Funded by the Irish government, Lero-the Irish Software Engineering Research Centre has begun two educational initiatives to address this issue: the establishment of the Lero Graduate School in Software Engineering (LGSSE) and the Lero Education and Outreach Programme. This paper describes both initiatives in detail and their uniqueness in the Irish context.

This collective case study applied life design counselling to augment the career adaptability of learners in a South African independent school setting. Five purposively selected learners attending Grade 11 (age range: 16-18) completed eight group-based life design counselling sessions. Data on their career adaptability pre-and post-intervention were gathered from sessional notes. The data were thematically analysed. Following the intervention the participants displayed improved career adaptability as evidenced by their demonstrated efforts to address aspects related to career concern, control, curiosity and confidence. Life design counselling appeared to have a positive effect on the career adaptability of learners in an independent school setting.

“…Diversos estudos apontam o papel fundamental dos pais enquanto modelos educativos e profissionais, enquanto fontes de apoio, incentivo, informação, e pressão, e enquanto transmissores de motivação, encorajamento, interesses e valores. Quanto maior a percepção, por parte dos filhos, deste apoio parental, maior o planeamento, a integração, o ajustamento, a adaptação, a satisfação e o bem-estar com a sua vida/carreira (Dietrich & Kracke, 2009;Lent et al, 2002;Porto & Tamayo, 2006).…”
