Since the introduction of school guidance and counseling services in Papua New Guinea (PNG) schools in the 1970s little has changed. A limited number of Guidance Officers (GOs) each look after a large number of secondary schools. Consequently they only have time to administer a bank of Australian Council for Education Research (ACER) aptitude tests to grade 11 students and provide limited career guidance to year 12 students. This means that more than one million school aged children in PNG miss out on adequate guidance and counselling services, with any support they do receive being provided by untrained school personnel. This comparative study using a transformative paradigm research approach will explore guidance and counselling service in PNG and Australia with a particular focus on services available to schools in Goroka (PNG) and in Townsville (Queensland, Australia). Townsville has been identified as an ideal location because of Australia’s political history and its legacies in many systems of government (including the education system), economic practices and social life in PNG. Another factor is the researcher’s location as a post graduate student at the James Cook University in Townsville. The study will utilise a mixed methods comprising of autoethnography, survey, and interview. Through autoethnography the researcher intends to investigate his own experiences working in guidance and counselling services in PNG. Next is the use of a survey questionnaire to gauge care-givers’ views about the scope and type of services currently provided in PNG and in Queensland schools. Finally, several pertinent individuals in PNG and the State of Queensland will be interviewed about guidance and counselling services in the respective countries with a view to exploring how services will need to change to better meet anticipated future requirements. The information is then distilled to make recommendations as to how guidance and counseling services in PNG schools might be transformed.

This chapter explored the role of career guidance and counseling in promoting graduates' employability skills in Tanzania higher learning institutions. A total of 123 respondents were involved. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and focused group discussion. The study revealed that HLIs do not have professionals in career guidance and counseling who are solely employed to offer such services; the task is left to lecturers and wardens. Career guidance and counseling services were also found to be inadequate and not formalized thereby threatening students' acquisition of employability skills. The study recommends that higher learning institutions (HLIs) in Tanzania should see the possibilities of preparing students in various competence areas such as academic excellence, career aspects, personal and social skills. This can only be achieved by establishing comprehensive career guidance and counseling units within the institutions.

Abstrak. Kebutuhan remaja saat ini terhadap bimbingan karir dan konseling semakin tinggi, seiring dengan semakin beragamnya permasalahan remaja. Di sekolah-sekolah, kebutuhan konsultasi juga meningkat terutama sejak adanya Seleksi Nasional Masuk Perguruan Tinggi (SNMPTN) yang menggunakan “jalur sekolah” atau jalur prestasi. Masalahnya, karena berbagai sebab, ternyata tidak semua remaja dapat mengungkapkan permasalahan atau berkonsultasi dengan mudah secara tatap muka. Di sisi lain penggunaan media social di kalangan remaja meningkat dengan pesat, dari 88,1 juta orang pengguna internet yang dirilis oleh Asosisasi Penyedia Jasa Internet Indonesia, 58,4% di antaranya adalah generasi muda, termasuk remaja. Oleh karena itu, adalah langkah yang tepat untuk menyediakan media konsultasi online yang dapat membuat para remaja dapat mengkonsultasikan permasalahan yang dihadapinya di manapun dan kapanpun. Penelitian ini berusaha mendeskripsikan kebutuhan para remaja di kota Bandung terhadap media konsultasi online, lalu mengembangkan prototype media konsultasi online berdasarkan deskripsi kebutuhan tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di luar bimbingan karir, masalah yang dihadapi remaja di kota Bandung di antaranya adalah masalah pertemanan, masalah percintaan, masalah keluarga, dan masalah keuangan. Pada umumnya remaja menceritakan permasalahannya pada teman mereka, bukan pada keluarga atau guru/dosen bimbingan dan konseling. Sebagian besar responden pernah mem-posting permasalahan mereka di media sosial, hanya untuk pelepasan tekanan, tanpa mengharapkan feedback dari teman atau follower mereka. Hampir seluruh responden tertarik untuk mencoba jika ada layanan konsultasi online. Mereka berharap, meskipun online, konsultasi tetap dapat dilakukan secara personal tanpa muncul di ranah yang dapat dibaca oleh orang lain, dan jangan sampai permasalahan mereka diceritakan ke publik, meskipun namanya disamarkan. Selain itu, para responden menyarankan agar media konsultasi online tersebut menggunakan nama yang dekat dengan kehidupan remaja, bukan  nama formal yang mencerminkan kelembagaan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut, maka peneliti kemudian mengembangkan www.sobatmu.com sebagai media konsultasi online untuk pada remaja. Kata kunci: Media Konsultasi Online, Bimbingan Konseling, Masalah RemajaAbstract. Nowadays, teenagers need for career guidance and counseling are increasing, along with the diversity of their problems. In the schools and universities, the need for consultation has also increased, especially since the University entrance examination using Seleksi Nasional Masuk Perguruan Tinggi (SNMPTN) known as “school path entrance”. The problem is, for various reasons, not all teenagers can reveal or consult their problems using face to face communication easily.
