The current period, in addition to the continuous changes and advances of new technologies characterizing the 21st century, is presenting to the world and to the specificities of different cultural contexts even more challenges due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The multiple issues related to Career Development acquire even more salience and require a strong commitment to research and practice supported by empirical results. The Australian Journal of Career Development is a traditional journal in the field which has always proceeded to support the balance of ethics and innovation of research lines for the benefit of a transfer of scientific results to the practice and interventions in contexts.
