Abstract
In September, 2007, the main contractors of the four nextstep networks in the North East (referred to in this paper as the ‘consortium’) successfully submitted a proposal to the Learning & Skills Council (LSC) for funding to develop a
framework for measuring the impact of career advice. It was agreed that the project would result in a practice-based ‘Impact Toolkit’ that would include:-
• a set of impact measures that should be used in the new adult careers service with a rationale for their inclusion;
• methodologies for each of the impact measures identified;
• approaches to obtaining information on progression in learning and work – with templates and case study material;
• approaches to measuring soft outcomes; and
• suggested Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
