Lifelong Guidance Policies: Work In Progress. Dr R Vuorinen And Dr T Watts Eds.
This is the full report of the work of the European Lifelong Guidance Policy Network (ELGPN) 2009-10 in a very readable format as presented by the representatives of the EU Member States, and edited by Dr Vuorinen and Dr Watts. It describes the structures and processes of the ELGPN and reports on its work in implementing the priority action areas of the Resolution (2008) of the EU Council of Education Ministers: expanding access to services, teaching and learning career management skills, assuring the quality of careers services, developing the evidence base for policy making, and stakeholder cooperation and coordination at national, regional and local levels. Country examples of actions for each of these are provided. It outlines the EU policy context for the work of the Network, examines links between policy and EU funded guidance projects, and considers the development of a Common European Reference Tool for lifelong guidance.
