Assessing and measuring the impact of career guidance and counselling

Blog Entry | 0 replies | 21-August-2007 | Deirdre Hughes |
It's time to investigate more fully difffering approaches used to assess and measure the impact of career guidance and counselling interventions.
As part of my PhD studies, I am currently working with UK and European colleagues to explore the potential for developing a European-wide performance indicator framework to support policy formation, research and practice in career guidance and counselling. We have recently submitted a proposal to the EU Seventh Framework Programme to help secure funds to take forward this work and await the results. In addition, close working links have been established with colleagues in Canada who are exploring the potential to develop 'proxies' or 'equivalences' that could be used to link the 'softer' obeservable outcomes of guidance to the achievement of 'harder' outcomes linked to the labour market and social equity policy goals. I'd like to hear from you if you have any experience in designing and/ or utilising performance indicators within an education, health or unemployment setting. What indicators have you used and why have you used these? Do you have any experiences and/or tools that you would like to share to feed into an evolving community of researchers, practitioners and policy-makers who have a strong interest in this topic? If you need further information email: d.m.hughes@derby.ac.uk Did you know? There's a United Nations (1989) Handbook on Social Indicators- Studies in Methods. Series F No.49. United Nations New York. Look forward to hearing from you. |
