Abstract
A five year study of guidance is in progress in England. The aim is to use a qualitative, longitudinal case study approach to investigate the nature of effective guidance for adults and explore how, over the longer-term, it can add value to post-compulsory learning and enhance employability. Fifty in-depth case studies of guidance have been successfully completed (2003-2004) in a variety of professional contexts. Of the 50 clients who participated in the initial phase of the study, 49 reported that their guidance was useful. All clients are being followed-up by telephone on an annual basis over a four year period (2004-2008) to explore their career development and examine the role that guidance has played. This chapter considers the challenges in undertaking a longitudinal study into guidance and defining what makes guidance effective. It draws on the initial phase of the study by focusing on a comparative analysis of different perspectives on useful career guidance. It also presents a model of guidance practice in action, which details what actually happens in guidance interviews regarded as useful by clients.
