In this article I propose a theoretical model concerning schemes and interventions relevant to lifelong career and life construction. I use different concepts, such as (1) the VUCA world to define the complex environment and how individuals can respond to this complexity, (2) Life Design which postulates that career construction requires identity construction, (3) lifelong guidance, counselling and learning which defines an individual's personal and professional construction at all stages of life and (4) the guidance-oriented approach to learning which proposes interventions allowing personal and career construction at school. This work is rooted in current thinking about how to help individuals, individually and collectively, to build their future. A model is proposed with the objectives of helping contribute to the development of individuals' professional lives and determining support actions that seek equity and social justice in their environment, at school and in the labour market.
