“…Therefore, it seems that the career path of rural students in the Latgale region depends mainly on their geographical situation and individual socioeconomic status: exactly as in other studies, there are students with the opportunity to leave their residential area for better education and those who must remain in smaller towns (Farrugia, 2014;Forsey, 2015). Additionally, research findings fully support the idea proposed in the literature that CCs in rural schools should be aware of how the local socioeconomic and educational situation influences the experience of rural youth (Chen & Doherty, 2021;Pillay, 2021). Although they did not mention it openly, interviewed CCs are trying to follow the paradigm shift of the present time, stressing the role of context, culture, and issues of inequity in their work (Perry, 2010).…”

“…Again, as regards the rural and urban division, while rural youth share many commonalities with their urban counterparts, the rural experience presents distinctions that can influence their life-career decisions. When working with rural youth, CCs should understand how the local economic situation, access to secondary and post-secondary education, and the scarcity of career exploration services shape the experiences of rural students (Chen & Doherty, 2021).…”

This paper presents an exploratory study of the perspectives of career counsellors and students on risk and protective factors in choosing course sets in secondary education. The study, conducted in the Latgale region of Latvia, uses a qualitative research design based on a triangulation between the perspectives of school career counsellors and students. Data obtained from interviews with four career counselors and a focus group with six 15–16 year old students from urban and rural schools were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study acknowledges that school career counsellors can serve as a vital resource for Latvian society in managing and addressing the challenges of current educational reform and inequalities in education and career management caused by socioeconomic disparities.

Existing career guidance research and practice is based on urban, or metrocentric, models and assumptions, which are problematic for rural communities. In the field of education, researchers have argued that ‘ruraling’ scholarship can be beneficial in challenging existing metrocentric models and opening new ways of imagining practice. In this paper, we apply the concept of ‘ruraling’ to the field of career guidance, arguing that rural scholarship can reveal implicit spatial assumptions in existing models and approaches, challenge neoliberal and metrocentric discourses and re-envision career guidance in ways that are more inclusive and spatially sensitive.

Research studies continue to document the inequitable access to quality careers education and guidance for rural Australian youth, raising questions about these programs in rural schools. A significant proportion of the existing rural careers education and guidance literature focuses on factors of students’ decision-making, with little attention on the role of the careers advisor. This article explores how rural careers advisors develop and leverage their social capital to create place-based careers education and guidance programs. Drawing on narrative interviews with career advisors in western Victoria, the article uses theories of bridging and bonding social capital as an analytic framework to highlight the risks and opportunities in creating place-based programs. It argues that local knowledge and a strong network of relationships across the local communities assists advisors in tailoring relevant and effective careers education and guidance. This is vital to ensuring rural students have access to the quality careers education and guidance they need to have positive post-school outcomes.
