Nowadays, over 60% of the young laborers in Kazakhstan do not work in their specialties and deal with demotivation and emotional burn-up. One of the causes is that they did not make the correct choice of specialty when they were in high school. Career guidance is a multistage and complicated process that directly influences students' career decision-making. It is significant to guide and support students during this dynamic milestone of their life. This paper analyzes the importance and main functions of the career guidance and career counseling process in high schools in the UK and US by comparing it with local Kazakhstani schools. The study aims to overview the literature review and background experience to define career guidance and career counseling in high school. It reviews the career guidance and counseling policy documents of 3 single gender schools in the UK, the US, and Kazakhstan, identifying common points and errors in this field.
