Career guidance in Europe’s PESs trends (by Sultana & Watts 2005) „The key purpose behind the study was to gauge the manner in which—and the extent to which—personalised employment and career guidance services in the European PES have responded to the widely-adopted goal of implementing a personal service approach, identifying the difficulties they have encountered and the innovative responses they have generated.” (p 7.) 16-17th June 2008 LLG for job-seekers, PROGRESS

Europe’s PES have developed three key ways to manage these tensions partnership and to outsourcing; a shift to self-service modes of delivery reserving to the rest more intensive individual career guidance interviews if and when needed (p 9.) 16-17th June 2008 LLG for job-seekers, PROGRESS

LLG for job-seekers, PROGRESS Main challenges The first challenge concerns the need for PES career guidance and career guidance-related services to be more systematic in the evaluation of their effectiveness. A second challenge is to get the right balance between integrating career guidance elements in the services and activities provided by the PES, while at the same time maintaining specialist services for deeper engagement with clients when this is required. A third challenge arises from the necessity to open up guidance services within the PES to embrace a more long-term, life-long perspective:.. Finally, the PES has to rise to the challenge of addressing key gaps in service delivery, and to focus on those areas that require further attentionand investment in order to facilitate the provision of quality services for all.
