What benefits do educational and vocational guidance and counselling create? What are their effects? Is it a meaningful and purposeful offering? Sixteen articles by German, Swiss and Austrian authors deal with the various aspects of these core questions from varying viewpoints. The topics span from the social recognition of educational and vocational guidance and counselling to their importance for social participation to the approaches for impact studies. Concepts and practical approaches are introduced as well. The anthology "Future field educational and vocational guidance and counselling III" is based on contributions submitted at the symposium of the same name, which was held at the Federal Institute for Adult Education (Bundesinstitut für Erwachsenenbildung - bifeb) in 2014. It supplements the content of the two conference transcripts from 2011 and 2013.weiterlesen
