Publish outcome measures for the new careers service capturing long-term career journeys
Recommendation
In the next 6 months, DWP should write to us with details of how it will measure the performance of the new jobs and careers service. This should include outcome measures for careers advice that capture the steps people take as part of their career journey, and which will encourage advisers to focus on longer-term, personalised support. (Recommendation, Paragraph 37)
Government Response Summary
The government partially accepts, committing to develop robust performance measures for the new Jobs and Careers Service, including specific outcome measures for careers advice, building on the Get Britain Working outcomes.
