The paper describes the current state of career guidance in the United States and the historical context of career guidance.  Recommendations include: 1) increasing access to quality career guidance at the pre college level with an emphasis on evaluating the impact of such services on academic and workforce readiness outcomes; 2) increasing the capacity of post-secondary and workforce development organizations to provide access to quality career guidance to out-of-school and at-risk youth; 3) establish a consensus on the metrics to be used in evaluating the immediate and long-term effectiveness of career guidance services; and 4) increase access to quality professional development opportunities for individuals providing career guidance and development services.ssolbergSat, 08 May 2010 18:17:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:168http://www.iccdpp.org/PolicyResearch/Guidanceinschoolsandtraining/tabid/143/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/163/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.iccdpp.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=143&ModuleID=458&ArticleID=163http://www.iccdpp.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=163&PortalID=1&TabID=143http://www.iccdpp.org/PolicyResearch/Guidanceinschoolsandtraining/tabid/143/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/163/Default.aspxThe Climbing Frame is an electronic tool developed by Unionlearn, an organisation established by the Trades Union Congress in the UK to help Union Learning Representatives to promote lifelong learning in the workplace and to assist members to access learning opportunities.

It describes the rise of the Union Learning Representative (ULR), achieving national and statutory recognition. Their key role is to raise the demand for learning especially among workers with low or no qualifications. Their functions include: training needs analysis providing information and advice on training promoting the value of training arranging training consulting with employers. In one recent survey, 85% reported offering information, advice and guidance. The paper also describes the experience of trade unions in other countries in similar activities. The proximity of the ULRs to the workforce is another example of how access to guidance at the workplace can be organised.  iccdppadmTue, 28 Jul 2009 07:34:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:162http://www.iccdpp.org/PolicyResearch/Guidanceinschoolsandtraining/tabid/143/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/149/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.iccdpp.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=143&ModuleID=458&ArticleID=149http://www.iccdpp.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=149&PortalID=1&TabID=143http://www.iccdpp.org/PolicyResearch/Guidanceinschoolsandtraining/tabid/143/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/149/Default.aspxThis article wriiten by Tibor Bors Borbely provides the background to the present offer of guidance services in compulsory education and vocational education and training in Hungary.

The service will combine skills and training advice with practical guidance on how to overcome the full range of barriers people face in getting on in life. The service linked to national web and phone services will be driven by local innovation and partnership in which the public employment service, Job Centre Plus, and  further education institutes will be key partners. The local partnership will operate as a flexible network, sharing information and expertise to deliver a personalised offer of advice and ongoing support to citizens. It will be a universal service, open to employed and unemployed alike. The Skills Account will be an integral part of the service. Ten prototypes of the service are being trialled to enable government to draw from the innovative practice of those who deliver the service with a wide range of partners. The prospectus is divided into five sections: -brief summary of the service -prototypes -policy and operational issues -links to other advisory services in the education and training system -innovation and partnership.iccdppadmFri, 23 Jan 2009 13:15:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:116http://www.iccdpp.org/PolicyResearch/Guidanceinschoolsandtraining/tabid/143/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/115/TELEPHONE-GUIDANCE-PILOT-EVALUATION.aspx#Comments0http://www.iccdpp.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=143&ModuleID=458&ArticleID=115http://www.iccdpp.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=115&PortalID=1&TabID=143http://www.iccdpp.org/PolicyResearch/Guidanceinschoolsandtraining/tabid/143/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/115/TELEPHONE-GUIDANCE-PILOT-EVALUATION.aspxThis is the full external evaluation report of the career guidance telephone pilot evaluation tested by New Zealand Careers Service with young people aged 12 to 29 years of age.

It specifically sought to evaluate a trial extension of Ufi/learndirect telephone guidance service for adults to handle a substantially larger volume of calls, and to test a three stage call back and action planning model of such provision. The research also examined issues such as the generation of demand for telephone guidance versus the capacity to meet such demand, the short-term positive outcomes achieved, and the cost-effectiveness of telephone guidance versus face to face guidance. The results show high demand, less use of the three stage model, more positive outcomes related to action planning by users including user satisfaction, and similar costs for telephone guidance as per face to face interviews. iccdppadmFri, 30 Mar 2007 22:28:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:35http://www.iccdpp.org/PolicyResearch/Guidanceinschoolsandtraining/tabid/143/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/20/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.iccdpp.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=143&ModuleID=458&ArticleID=20http://www.iccdpp.org/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=20&PortalID=1&TabID=143http://www.iccdpp.org/PolicyResearch/Guidanceinschoolsandtraining/tabid/143/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/20/Default.aspxThis report was presented at the Finnish EU Presidency Conference on Lifelong Guidance in November 2006.
