The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the attitudes and working methods that study- and career counselors apply when it comes to competence provision. The main focus of the thesis was to investigate whether the study and career counselors consider that competence development work is an essential part of their work in a primary school in a municipality with a dominant market of industries. Therefor our main question was about how the study and career counsellors are working with this today, if there is any influence from external stakeholders and what the desired role of collaboration they would like to have in the future. We have contacted forty study and career counsellors who work in primary school in member municipalities in the network of Industristarka Kommuner and they were interviewed by mail and in some cases by phone. There were totally nine study and career counsellors that were represented in the survey. The study results in a model for the collaborative role, which could be divided into four stages, directly active, indirectly active, indirectly passive and direct passive, depending on the position and behavior of study and career counselors in the question of collaboration. The roles could also be linked to different career theories and were largely dependent on how the top of the board looked and most of our informants had a desire to take a step back and allow someone else to manage the skills to solve time for other guidance work.
