      <abstract>
        <p>For many people, choosing a future profession is a challenge in itself. From an early age,</p>
        <p>individuals begin to give indications about the interests and desires for the life profession, although</p>
        <p>it often happens that they change focus and receive completely different hacks from what they</p>
        <p>previously thought. Choosing a profession is a complex process where many external and internal</p>
        <p>factors come together that motivate a person to make a vital choice.</p>
        <p>Then what should be done so that the youth have a clearer picture of who they are and what they</p>
        <p>want to be in the future. They may have difficulty in choosing a profession and need help from</p>
        <p>competent people who will help them to make the right choice. Then the question is, to whom</p>
        <p>should they turn or to ask for help. Therefore, our intention in this paper is to answer the question</p>
        <p>what and how can vocational guidance help the individual's professional orientation? This is</p>
        <p>exactly the time when vocational guidance finds its place and position, assisting pupils and student</p>
        <p>to decide for their profession/job/career according to their abilities, interest, personal traits, e.g.,</p>
        <p>choosing a job that suits them better, to work for that and improve as well. If we look on the</p>
        <p>literature, we will notice that vocational guidance and counseling as part of counseling occupies an</p>
        <p>important place starting from the lowest educational level to the highest academic levels.</p>
