Hypothesis 1 – There is a correlation between the moment of the occurrence of the counselling need and the moment of becoming aware of it – has been invalidated by the data obtained for items 7 and 10. It was found that the majority of the respondents believe that the appropriate moment for the first contact with a career counsellor is during high-school studies, followed by the period of university studies and, not last, whenever needed, irrespective of the level of studies. We believe that the three moments do not exclude one another but should be interpreted cumulatively, so that the client may be initially informed during high-school studies, then during university studies and, eventually, whenever it is necessary. Moreover, the data obtained may be interpreted as indicating an increased need for career counselling during high-school, with 61% of the respondents believing that the moment they would have needed the assistance of a career counsellor was during high-school studies. We may see that 65 % of the respondents have manifested their interest in becoming actively involved in a process of career counselling at present. This fact highlights the current awareness of the need for career counselling among young adults attending university studies, with an age average of 20 years. Therefore, there is no relation between the need for counselling and becoming aware of it, which occurs subsequently, respectively after the completion of high-school studies.
