Karlovitz, János Tibor; Gyukits, György – Practice and Theory in Systems of Education, 2016
It appears--and this is apparent from school documentation--that every school considers its duty to support career orientation.

Shapiro, Mary; Grossman, Diane; Carter, Suzanne; Martin, Karyn; Deyton, Patricia; Hammer, Diane – Middle School Journal, 2015
Why do girls perform so well academically yet lose ground as professional women? This diminishing number of women up the leadership hierarchy is often referred to as the "leaky pipeline," and attributed to many factors: external ones such as work environments not conducive to work/life balance, and internal ones such as women's own…

Yet, research and practice focus almost exclusively on enriching the learning and work experiences of high school…
