Recently, the Internet has been established as a major source of information on job hunting. On the other hand, on the scene of career support for Japanese university students, it is common to see students being swayed by a lot of information overflowing the Internet. Therefore, this research has aimed to consider suitable university career services in information society based on the case study of Estonia. In particular, an interview survey was conducted in Estonia to clarify the following points. (1) Current situation and issue of career services at universities in Estonia (2) Guidance and support for young people regarding career information in Estonia Regarding the point (1), it was revealed that the scale of Estonian university career centers is relatively small. They are making effort toword prevention of students’ dropouts, and their main users are international students. As for point (2), although the situation of Estonian universities is the same as that of the Japanese universities, it was uncovered that there are experts called "Career information specialist" in the public guidance centers. Furthermore, this study suggests that "informed decisions" will become a critical concept in career services of information society.
