This is due to the development of new technologies, the emergence of new professions and the expansion of career opportunities. In such conditions, an urgent task is to find effective approaches to career guidance work that contribute to the successful professional self-determination of schoolchildren. The purpose of this article is to analyze innovative methods of career guidance and create a model that takes into account modern realities. Career guidance has traditionally been based on comparing the professional qualities of a student with the requirements of a future specialty. However, today, with the expansion of the choice of professions, such an approach may not be enough. It is necessary to develop the skills of teenagers to independently search and analyze information about their profession, taking into account the variability of the labor market. Innovative career guidance methods based on the use of digital technologies can be the answer to this need. By allowing students to explore educational and professional opportunities through digital means, they contribute to the formation of self-determination skills. The article analyzes such techniques and draws up a model of career guidance that meets the challenges of the time.
