I'd echo that. There are some useful information pieces, articles and links to other resources gathered together [broken link removed], but they won't replace face-to-face advice from a suitably qualified career guidance teacher who (presumably?) knows her a little bit.Why do you/she think that the career guidance at school is not sufficient?

Amen to that !Feck it - I'm 37 and still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Let her be a teenager, and she'll work it out.
My daughter, going into Leaving Cert year, really doesn’t know what she wants to do - she thinks she would like primary teaching but may not make the points for that. I am not sure we have the insights or knowledge to guide her and wonder if there is anyone in the West of Ireland, we/she could talk to. She does have careers guidance at school but we feel she needs something more one-to-one and in-depth (though this may not be the case). Can any one advise us?
