The study of contemporary trends in career development reveals rich opportunities by developing
personal competencies through individuals’ own agency. Analysis shows that there are no clear
strategies and policies for the career development at all ages. This also applies to teachers and future
teachers and this article addresses the development of teachers’ career management competence.
The study aimed to develop a model of teacher’s career development training based on a study
of international experience in the field of contemporary policies, theories and practices for career
development, adult education and strength-based approach in education. The model is competencebased,
and creates the conditions for personality-orientating and motivating learners. It provides
group diagnostics and a flexible set of approaches. Modern adult career development theories are
integrated in the teacher’s career development training. The model will facilitate future actions
for planning, organizing and implementing teacher’s career development training. Conclusions
are drawn about contemporary perspectives on career development and on the proposed modern
strengths-based andragogical model
