Towards European standards for monitoring and evaluation of lifelong guidance systems and services ; Vol. 1

This publication brings together the results of a call for papers on monitoring and evaluating career guidance systems and services, adopting the perspective of career development support to careers and learning. Experts were invited to provide insights into the current situation, with a focus on the methodological options available for monitoring and evaluating adult career guidance and career development services. This volume presents six research papers covering a range of existing and proposed methodological approaches and in-depth reviews of previous work, identifying gaps and considering solutions. The report is framed within a larger project aiming to explore the feasibility of achieving an integrated vision of the results of guidance interventions and establishing minimum standards for comparable monitoring and evaluation of career guidance and counselling services for adults in Europe from a lifelong perspective.
