The Educational Career Program was developed to be used with elementary school students, from the 1st to the 4th grade, with the general aim of developing their knowledge, attitudes and skills related to career along their elementary education. The specific objective of this program is to develop self-knowledge, educational and occupational exploration and career planning and was applied in 20 schools involving 1,394 students. The analysis of program attendance duration confirmed its efficiency, leading to a further development of all aspects of career, with children who attended the program, for alonger time, which indicates the good quality of the program, as well as the feasibility of its implementation.
