Mobility is, according to many economists and debaters, an important factor in increasing economic growth and development. This study examines the Lisbon Strategy and its impact on young adults on the European educational and employment arena. The empirical study is based on qualitative research that investigates which geographic intentions ten students of secondary education at two Swedish schools in Spain have concerning where to achieve future education and employment. The study is also based on qualitative interviews with two student and career counsellors at the schools mentioned and the relation between their work and the intentions of the Lisbon Strategy. Many of the informants in the study planned a potential migrating future of studying and searching for employment. If this interest is based on the individual’s solely interest of economic migration or on encouragement of doing so by the student and career counsellors is not concluded. However the empiric result confirms the criticism of OECD's evaluation of the European career guidance policies that shows a shortage of prioritizing student and career counselling among educational institutions across Europe.
