At the outset, let’s look at the acronym ISTP. It stands for Labour Market Integrated System which is a database of all existing jobs in the Slovak labour market, as well as counselling tools that are useful for finding a job corresponding to educational attainment, experience, knowledge and skills of the website user.
ISTP has been operating since 2003. The reason for its creation was high unemployment, which necessitated the need to improve and optimize advisory and brokerage services of labour offices. For this purpose, a free publicly accessible portal was created that offers to unemployed on-line access to their labour potential diagnosis and follow-up search of adequate job vacancies. It was also an appeal to employers to publicly articulate their requirements and demands for qualified workforce.
ISTP is in the first place intended for unemployed people, both jobseekers and voluntarily unemployed who are looking for work. They can find here employers’ requirements as regards education, knowledge, skills, competencies (e.g. communication, foreign language skills, presentation skills, physical fitness, etc.), but also a continuously updated database of job vacancies.
The information is also intended for pupils, students, their parents and school counsellors about what education is needed to perform various jobs, which schools offer such education, as well as advice on planning a future career.
Employees of labour offices gain useful information system facilitating registration process of clients, creation of their personal profiles and their mediation to employers with vacancies, planning of job seekers training and the like.
Employers receive useful information as regards performance of personnel management, publishing of requirements for the qualification of the labour force and publishing of job vacancies.

Slovakia
The current statistics on unemployment in Slovakia, but also in other European countries, confirm the importance and significance of guidance in finding a profession or professional orientation, in other words, career guidance. By far, it concerns not only young - it must be for all population groups with different levels of educational attainment.
The main aim of the working meeting of the partners which took place on 23 - 24 th January 2014 in Budapest was the creation of the questionnaire which would assess the level of career guidance in partner countries.
In the course of the project it is planned to exchange information between institutions at the international level on the current situation in the labour market (LM) in the partner regions and compare career guidance systems (CG) in the partner countries.
