Abstract
A qualitative, longitudinal study of effective guidance in England is being conducted by the Warwick Institute for Employment Research over the period 2002 to 2008. It has been funded by the Department for Education and Skills, Access to Learning Division (subsequently renamed Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills). This is the fourth major report from this study.
The purpose of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of guidance by tracking the career trajectories of research participants over a five year period and establish the role of guidance in this process. Fifty in-depth case studies were initially completed (December, 2003 to March, 2004). Analyses of these data are presented in the first report. All fifty of the clients who participated in the first phase of investigation were contacted by telephone during the period October, 2004 to March 2005, approximately one year after their case study interview. Forty-five were successfully interviewed and the second report was based on follow-up findings relating to their career progression, reflections on the guidance interview, future plans and next steps. Thirty-six clients were
successfully contacted three years into the study and an analysis of their progress was presented in the third report.
This fourth report is based on data collected from the 30 clients who were successfully contacted three years after the case study interview (four years into the study). It focuses on how the career trajectories of participants in England are developing. In particular, it highlights the career decision making styles of the clients, together with a consideration of the barriers and influences on these career choices and decisions.
