All rights reserved.The study of well-being in the educational environment has been reconsidered with the inclusion of elements of positive psychology in the school environment. This situation has modified some perspectives regarding educational guidance, particularly in vocational guidance. The sense of well-being is no longer an exclusive reference of the health context, it also includes emotions, social relations, the meaning of life and personal goals and achievements, all these elements are necessary to consider at the school curriculum. Additionally, more has been learned of the adolescents who belong to the digital-learner generation. Therefore, the challenge in educational projects is to consolidate structural changes necessary to guide young people in the best way possible. In the next years they will have to design and make decisions about a life project in a world that offers more and more options for professional training in different formats. This paper proposes an analysis of perspectives and approaches that address these issues from different perspectives and raises the need to combine visions in proactive and innovative approaches at educational guidance projects to meet the demands of digital learners with the inclusion of the sense of well-being in these proposals.
