Abstract
This special report describes activities of the International Association for Educational and Vocational Guidance (IAEVG) and Japn's commitments to the intenationalization of career guidance study. Career guidance study has been increasingly internationalized since the IAEVG was founded in Brussels, Belgium in 1951. With the help of member countries and rising social and educational demands for its activities, the Associarion has gained a lot of prestige for the past half century. As for Japan, many scholars from all over the world came to our country after World War II, offering us lessons and suggestions for promoting career guidance. In recent years,more and more Japanese members go abroad to study this subject, too, From the perspective of promoting career guidance study at the multinational level, this report includes the followings: 1. The organization of the IAEVG (objectives, activities, board members, budget, etc.) 2. Practical activities of the IAEVG (locations and themes of conferences and other activities). 3. Japan's commitments to the internationalization of career guidance study (lists of foreign scholars who visited Japan, Japanese member's activities in foreign countries, etc.). 4. Problems of and prospects for Japan's commitments to the internationalization of career guidance study in the future. I hope that this report will help developing activities of the Association and shaping the course of career guidance in the future.
