The OECD developed a handbook for career guidance policy makers in 2004.

The Publication:

• Sets out the key challenges that policy makers face in trying to improve career guidance services;
  
• Provides examples of good practice and of effective responses to these challenges, drawing upon research conducted in 36 OECD and European countries;
  
• Lists the questions that policy makers need to ask themselves in responding to these challenges; and
  
• Provides practical options that they can use in order to improve policy.

A full version of the handbook can be found at the OECD website.
