Career Guidance: A Handbook For Policy Makers
This handbook was initiated by the European Commission in response to perceived weaknesses in strategic leadership in EU Member States in the country reviews of policies for career guidance undertaken by CEDEFOP, ETF and the OECD. Edited and published jointly by the EC and the OECD, the handbook addresses a broad range of policy issues that are central to the effective delivery of career guidance services. Thses include: how to widen access to career guidance; ways of improving the quality of careers information; ensuring that staff qualifications meet policy objectives; assessing the effectiveness of career guidance; and improving strategic leadership.
The publication is essential reading for all policy makers, especially those in education and employment, who are responsible for planning, managing and delivering career guidance services, and for leaders, trainers and researchers in the career guidance field.
