Creativity can be considered a key resource in human development, education and adaptation. It is often defined as the ability to generate novel productions (ideas or work) that are valuable in their context and are also frequently surprising. In the context of the 21st century skills movement, creativity is systematically cited as a life skill, together with critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills. In this article, we explore the role of creativity in vocational guidance and suggest how it may be further integrated into discussions of career counselling. The article first offers a collection of perspectives from the French guidance counselling literature, educational guidance and training perspectives. This material illustrates the pivotally important modern expansion of the field’s mission from helping students making career choices to that of providing individuals of all kinds with the skills and perspective necessary to begin the lifelong process of building their own ‘life project’. In this expanded vision of career counselling, we argue that the understanding and development of an individuals’ creativity becomes even more centrally important.

创造力：指导和职业咨询中的关键概念

创造力可以被认为是人类发展，教育和适应的关键资源。它通常被定义为能够产生新颖的作品（思想或作品）的能力，这些作品在其上下文中很有价值，而且常常令人惊讶。在21世纪技能运动的背景下，创造力与批判性思维，协作和沟通技巧一起被系统地称为生活技能。在本文中，我们探讨了创造力在职业指导中的作用，并提出了如何将其进一步融入职业咨询的讨论。本文首先从法国指导咨询文献，教育指导和培训角度提供了一些观点。该材料说明了该领域使命的至关重要的现代扩展，从帮助学生做出职业选择，到为各种个人提供开始建立自己的“生活项目”的终生过程所必需的技能和观点。在这种职业咨询的广阔视野中，我们认为，个人创造力的理解和发展变得更加重要。
