Measurement What is the value of a $10 wrench?  On the shelf?  In the hands of an experienced mechanic?  Who works in a top-notch repair shop?  That is part of a world-wide network of technical support? Answer: value of any tool increases dramatically when used in the context of systems, processes and networks

Measurement  Value of every car repaired?  Engine damage prevented?  Jobs kept because of reliable transportation? How do you measure the value? What do you count?

Career Information is our basic tool  Basis for systems, processes, and networks  Essential information for career development

Career Information is our basic tool The intelligence that guides students and workers (plus the people who help them) in comprehending and deciding about education, work and life.

Career development helps people make informed and considered career decisions Positive outcomes in three domains  Education  Social  Economic

Educational Outcomes  Improved educational achievement  Improved levels of postsecondary preparation and participation  Better articulation among levels of education and between education and work  Shorter time to graduation  Higher graduation rates

Educational Outcomes Informed and considered career decisions are linked to improved educational achievement, attainment, and efficiency. Students who make informed and considered career decisions are more likely to graduate from high school and to succeed in postsecondary education.

Social Benefits  Family, peers and community  Higher levels of worker satisfaction  Reduced unemployment and under- employment  Shorter path to the labor market  Reduced workplace stress, depression and violence

Social Benefits Informed and considered career decisions reduce the likelihood of occupational mismatch and unemploy- ment, increase the likelihood of career satisfaction, and result in lower incidences of work-related stress and depression.

Economic Outcomes  Higher incomes and tax revenues  Lower rates of unemployment  Lower costs of worker turnover  Lower health care costs  Lower criminal justice costs  Increased worker productivity

Economic Outcomes Informed and considered career decisions lead to higher incomes, fewer bouts and shorter durations of unemployment, better matches of person and work resulting in less turnover, better health for the employee and the employee’s family, and fewer instances of work-related stress, depression, and violence, which lead to savings in social welfare, criminal justice, and health-care costs.

What if…  Informed and considered career decisions…  Were the norm?

Benefits  More efficient use of education and training resources  Increased student engagement  Higher productivity  Greater job satisfaction  Less frequent and shorter durations of unemployment

Benefits  Higher levels of education and training  Better fit between individuals and their work  Less work-related stress, depression, and violence  Significant savings of public and private resources

Savings  Unemployment compensation  Employee health care  Social welfare programs  Education and re-education  Corrections  Community mental health

Directions for the Future Investing in career information and services at a level that ensures universal competency in making informed and considered career decisions might be the national investment strategy to enable full participation in the Twenty-first Century workplace.
