However, in order to be effective, the content of consultancy services should be adapted to the real needs of students (often resulting from transformations in the education and work market). This study indicates selected challenges faced by contemporary students (future graduates) in the context of the dynamics of the labor market development but also adaptation to permanent changes in this market.

In the presented article I am trying to describe the role of education and especially the role of career counselling in pursuing sustainable development education on the local labor market. Education is an extremely important factor in the lives of local societies, especially in preparing the youth to carry out their future careers. The unlimited availability of knowledge regarding the real career paths and the needs of labor market has nowadays become necessary. The consistency of vocational education with economic life and its role in management processes performed by self-government bodies justifies undertaking research on it at the local level. Researching these relations will allow me to formulate conclusions about the effectiveness of career counseling and its impact on the local labor market. The article was based on the literature on the subject, the analysis of the UN and EU legal regulations, strategic government and local government programs and statistical data.

The need for appropriate providing the leading stakeholders of higher education with objective information about the local universities' status and development is justified, which is important for making managerial decisions. It requires continuous monitoring and forecasting of the changes at the regional educational services markets in higher education. A complex of studies should include analysis, assessment, and forecasting of processes in higher education of the region, as well as in the labor market. It is shown that effective monitoring is possible only under the condition of close interaction of local higher education institutions, state authorities, and local self-government. The role of the latter is to determine the directions of the regional labor market development and to forecast its changes. On the example of the Kherson region, it is shown that a research and development monitoring center, established by the state authorities, may be a possible organizational form that allows performing the necessary research.
