This paper looks at the current of, background to, and future tasks related to career education promotion policies at Japanese elementary and secondary education levels. The Introduction describes the particular features of Japan's school education considered necessary in order to understand the state of career education, such as the class or homeroom teacher allocation throughout elementary and secondary school education and the entrance examination system for senior high school. Subsequently the first half of this paper discusses about a proposal, with reasons, for career education in Japan, in particular, the increase in young people either without work or in insecure working arrangements, and the effects of relaxing the formerly highly competitive entrance examination system. In the second half, the author describes the impact of "Career Start Week" campaign (2005-2008), which has revitalized work experience programs within junior high schools, and of the "Basic Plan for the Promotion Education" (2008), and both summarizes and provides verified data-based results relating to policies promoting career education. Finally, this paper look as the division of roles between the central government and regional governments, which is in a period of transition, and picks up important issues for the future relating to the creation of new frameworks to improve the quality of career education practice. In working towards this, the author concludes that Japan is truly embarking on the road less-or perhaps almost never-traveled.
