Information and communication technologies (ICT) used in career guidance have fast become both a necessity and an opportunity for new professional challenges playing an increasing role. The use of ICT is an integral component of the daily life of youth, and it is useful for them to professionally apply the ICT in their career guidance. The aim of the research is to develop an ICT-based Career Guidance Model and perform an expert evaluation of it. The aim of the Model is to contribute to the purposeful, conscious, responsible and persistent choice of careers by the youth. According to the theoretical aspects analysed in the present research, the best approach is to integrate ICT as an inclusive model, in which the ICT are used in parallel with other guidance activities. Three experts – professionals in pedagogy and career counselling – were involved in the expert evaluation. The expert evaluation of the model allowed finding that career counsellors, using ICT in their counselling, have to plan carefully their career guidance and combine the educational content, theory and technology. The expert evaluation allowed concluding that the model would contribute to the purposeful, conscious and independent choice of careers by youth if career counsellors confidently use adequate digital technologies in their career guidance for the youth.
