This paper focuses on the reality of career guidance in the field of Czech upper secondary vocational schools. According to official state legislation and regulations, students at the end of their school attendance should have developed the skills necessary for career management. Students should also be able to find their place on the labour market. These expectations should correspond with curricula, especially in regard to the specific, cross-sectional topic: “The Man and the World of the Work”. However, the reality is not satisfactory. The aim of the study is to present the first results of a questionnaire given to 370 pupils at eight selected secondary vocational schools within the project Design and Implementation of the Concept and Methodology of Career Learning in Vocational Education supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic, the ETA program. The preliminary outcomes of a few selected questions regarding how respondents understand the term “career learning and guidance”, their experience from specific methods/forms of career guidance and in which subjects they typically meet activities connected with preparation for their future career differ between students. Students from secondary vocational education with an apprenticeship certificate experience the least career guidance activities, which could have negative impact on their career path.
