The network was established in 2007 by the Member States and the Commission supports the network under the Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-13. The Member States have agreed that the ultimate aim of the ELGPN is to provide added value to the participating countries for the development and implementation of their lifelong career guidance policies, systems, and services across the education, employment sectors and social sectors.
The talk reflects also the strengths of its activities as well as some tensions and challenges in establishing a policy network.
