This paper analyzes and reveals the problems of professional self-determination as well as the assumptions of the formation of vocational decision. Based on empirical research results, internal assumptions of vocational decision-making in Lithuanian secondary schools have been assessed. Changes in labour market caused by rapid scientific and technological progress not only require new skills, but also the need for individuals to design their own career evaluating changing trends in the society and the world of work .

The results of the research. After the determina-tion of internal assumptions of vocational decision in secondary schools, the study suggests that secondary school career information system, which is reflected in the school strategy helps to / does not help/ to choose the direction and purpose of students’ vocational decision making. Vocational guidance and career education activities are not planned, there is little emphasis on individual work with students identifying vocational direction or designing their further career. Frequently, advice and information is provided by teachers, form tutors or visiting professional consultants. The dominant form is a class tutorial. A psychologist, a social worker or a vocational counselor rarely advise students how to choose their further career. The present situation in Lithuania is that effective career information system has not been established yet.
