Environment & Ecology / Annual report of a public research institute
French term or phrase: accompagnement des parcours
This is (happily) in the very last sentence of the job; I'd be grateful for inspiration. Up to now, the "parcours" in the report have all been satisfactorily rendered by "careers", but here we're stuck:

L’XXXXX et le développement durable
Des formations "Achats durables" ont été entreprises depuis 2010 pour les responsables des achats des centres sur les marchés généraux et pour des acheteurs des unités sur les besoins spécifiques à la recherche. La mise en place dans chaque centre de chargés de mission "Développement durable" a conduit à des propositions d’actions pilotes innovantes. Le séminaire national annuel réunissant ces chargés de mission et les responsables des services d’appui à la recherche a permis de confronter les pratiques en la matière. L'XXXXX est aussi engagé sur le pilier social du développement durable, où il doit faire, par son action, preuve d’exemplarité. Au travers de son bilan social annuel, l'XXXXX communique à ses agents et à ses partenaires les données objectives les plus complètes sur sa communauté de travail : ouverture de la politique de recrutement, amélioration des carrières, **accompagnement des parcours**, politique sociale et environnementale de la recherche...

(career) progression support


Explanation:
I understand this to mean support given to help individuals progress in their career (skill analysis, training etc), rather than the actual job itself. I'm not sure whether you need to mention career again (I assume this would be a repetition) - perhaps professional progression or professional advancement would be an appropriate alternative.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, this is what I thought too, but as you rightly point out, careers are already mentioned; one never knows whether such problems are simply the result of slipshod writing. Maybe I'll use your second ref. to cover both "amélioration" (advancement) and "acompagnement" (support). Thanks for your help.
