Learning outcomes of guidance
Term
Learning outcomes of guidance
Definition
The set of knowledge, skills and/or competences an individual has acquired and/or is able to demonstrate after completion of a guidance activity or through participation in the guidance process.
Comment
The proposed definition is related specifically to a guidance context and has been adapted from the more general definition of learning outcomes.
Career guidance has been shown to lead to improved learning outcomes, such as greater access to, and participation in, learning and training, improved retention rates in education and training, greater education and training attainment and higher level skills, improved motivation and hence attainment in education and training (Careers Scotland 2007).
See separate definitions of ‘Economic and social outcomes’ and ‘Guidance outcomes’.

Career guidance
Term
Career guidance
Definition
A range of activities that enable citizens of any age, and at any point in their lives, to identify their capacities, competences and interests; to make meaningful educational, training and occupational decisions; and to manage their individual life paths in learning, work and other settings in which these capacities and competences are learned and/or used.
Comment
Career guidance is defined in the same way as lifelong guidance.
Guidance is provided in a range of settings: education, training, employment, community, and private.
Career or vocational guidance is often just called guidance by practitioners. Guidance is in fact an umbrella that encompasses counselling as well as activities such as informing, coaching, teaching, assessment and advocacy.
It is treated as a synonym of guidance and vocational guidance. Educational guidance, however, has been treated as a more specific term.
