Guidance and PDPs in Higher Education
06-April-2005
Is anyone out there involved in working with PDPs in HE from a career guidance / career management / career planning perspective?
In this institution we are approaching PDPs through the personal tutor systems but myself and my colleague are looking specifically at developing a career management module for final year students which will cover career choice and decision making and link to PDPs. Is anyonme involved in anything similar and interested in sharing ideas?
Useful starter paper re this is 'Developing Career Management Skills in Higher Education' (NICEC/CRAC Project Report by David Huster et al).

IAG positively received in Employer Training Pilots
09-April-2005
The evaluation of the Employer Training Pilots showed that a minority receive IAG, but those that did liked what they received.
The Platform for Progression: Employer Training Pilots Year 2 Evaluation Report by Jim Hillage, George Loukas, Becci Newton and Penny Tamkin revealed:
'A minority receive IAG, but like what they get
Just over one-third of learners received some form of information advice and guidance (IAG), mostly from some-one in their workplace or (less often) their training provider. Learners found the information, advice and, if offered, guidance they received helpful and were likely to be more satisfied than average with their ETP experience.' (pxiii)

Interested in Career counselling / guidance skills?
I am currently conducting some research into the career guidance / counselling interview and would be interested in colleagues thoughts on it. If I have already made contact with you via the AGCAS link please accept my apologies.
The research question is "What skills, strategies, techniques and approaches do career guidance practitioners/ counsellors deploy with clients who are overly dependent on the career guidance practitioner/counsellor providing ‘expert’ advice
I invite you participate in the research by completing a questionnaire.
The questionnaire does involve some reflection so feel free to respond with more general thoughts if this preferred.
I will attach the questionnaire as MS word attachment.
The questionnaire uses 'Critical Incident Technique' (Flanagan 1954) in an attempt to get participants to really focus in on what they find most effective
in the scenario outline above.
Many thanks
Danny Wilkey
