Abstract

To talk about professional and occupational orientation, it often means to
think about a purely physiological work. The fact of taking psychotechnical,
psychometric tests or interviews focused on such work, it is just a small part
of what it really means the task of giving a professional and occupational guide
to children and teenagers. This last point is charged, specifically, to the school
psychologist work; however, is a mistake to think that is just their task, as well
as thinking that vocational orientation is a work aimed to teenagers of the last
years of secondary education, who receive this type of accompaniment. This
article has the objective of reflecting the important role of the school, since
preschool level and the subsequent levels of basic regular education, in the task
of guiding learners in the vocational level; as well as, emphasizing the direct
relation between a conscious and comprehensive election of the selected
vocation and the harmonious development of an entire society and, with it, the
economic benefit of a country.
