Outcomes From Careers Information And Guidance Services By Malcolm Maguire And John Kileen
This is an expert paper jointly commissioned by the EC and OECD as part of the international review of policies for career guidance initiated by the OECD in 2001. The paper considers the contextual issues that impinge on career guidance activities and their outcomes and considers the the types of outcomes that can be viewed as desirable and identifiable. It assesses the various methods of measuring outcomes which are or might be employed. Existing evidence on the outcomes of guidance is reviewed and the implications for policy and research future agendas are addressed.
