This memo documents a mapping of researcher development policies in the EU and some selected countries. We present the scope of researcher development policies and possible national policy instruments.

The results of the mapping indicate that the UK is a leader in this field, particularly in the development of standards. We have found few examples of relevant national policies in other countries, but the EU have taken several initiatives. Also, Euraxcess, a network of universities in the EEA have developed standards for researcher development in universities and many universities have voluntarily committed themselves to upholding these standards.

Policies for researcher development – an international mapping

An international review

This report explores practice in school-based career education and guidance in five comparator countries. It examines the following questions.

What kinds of training and qualifications are required to lead career guidance in a school?

What skills does it require to undertake these roles effectively? How are these skills usually developed?

Does the existing National Quality Framework for Career Guidance provide a sufficient framework for the development of professionalism in Norwegian schools or is there a need to supplement it with additional guidance and specification (Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills. (2021). National Quality Framework for Career Guidance)).

These questions are explored through five international case studies of career guidance systems.

It is common for governments to place a legal expectation on schools to deliver career guidance. This frequently includes detail about how career guidance should be delivered and requirements for the training and qualification of careers professionals.

Qualifications for career guidance professionals working in schools are typically at either the Bachelors degree level or at the Masters level. In some countries the requirement for professional practice is built on through a formal certification or registration process.

There are a relatively common set of skills and competences which are identified by the case study countries. These broadly align with the Norwegian National Quality Framework for Career Guidance framework.

Most countries have developed forms of quality assurance for career guidance in schools. Quality is assured across a range of domains including policy, organisation, process and people.

Based on these findings the following recommendations are made.

Ensure that schools have a strong and unambiguous requirement to deliver career guidance to pupils.

Include requirements for appropriately trained careers professionals to appointed as part of the regulations that are given to schools.

Produce a school specific articulation of National Quality Framework for Career Guidance framework.

Clarify whether career guidance is a separate profession in schools or a function performed by school counsellors.

Develop and articulate the mechanisms that can be used for quality assurance of career guidance in Norwegian schools.

Strengthen the professional association(s).

Develop a strategy for continuing professional development (CPD).

Exploring the roles, qualifications and skills of career guidance professionals in schools

Presentation of the areas of Competence standards, Career competence and Ethics

In 2018, a proposed solution for each of these three areas was developed in collaboration with three broadly composed groups, involving representatives from a range of sectors, roles and administrative levels involved in career guidance services. The groups were headed by the specialists Torild Schulstok, Assistant professor (Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences – INN), Rie Thomsen, Professor in career guidance (Aarhus University), Anne Holm-Nordhagen, Assistant professor (USN) and discipline coordinator Erik Hagaseth Haug, Associate professor (INN), assisted by Tonje F. Gravås, Line W. Engh and Gry E. Bakke from Skills Norway. The proposed solutions were circulated for comment in the spring of 2019. This report presents the three areas after the comments were incorporated. 

Skills Norway would like to thank the participants from the three groups for their extensive and highquality contributions towards the development of the proposed solutions. We would also like to thank the four specialists for their efforts, both in the implementation of the project and for their invaluable expert contributions.

In July 2021 Skills Norway became part of the Directorate for Higher Education and Skills.
