Evaluation of Year 2 of the Skills Coaching Trials and Skills Passports
In partnership with the Centre for Social and Economic Inclusion, IES evaluated Skills Coaching, a careers and coaching service for out of work adults.
The evaluation involved: case-studies in nine of the areas running Skills Coaching trials; a review of literature on employability and employment and skills policy; an analysis of the pilots’ management information; and an assessment of the cost of delivering the service.
In light of the findings from the Skills Coaching pilots, the evaluation report makes recommendations for the development of the new Adult Careers Service.
