About

This section describes some research studies into the use and effectiveness of career programmes - characterised by there being multiple, structured interventions of different types to achieve one or more outcomes that are typically delivered over a period of time - weeks, months or even years (in education).

We have included several articles that discuss career programmes in general terms, such as their construction from different interventions, but studies into how these are optimally constructed are relatively rare in the literature. We provided examples of case studies of specific career programmes and their evaluation studies, which were far more common.

In providing some selected publications, we have suggested the insight that they might contribute to career practitioners or careers service managers who are considering the design, improvement or evaluation of career programmes.
