<b>Evaluating career coaching for employed adults</b>

This article examines the practical challenges of evaluating the impact of career development interventions with employed adults. It does this through a case example of a one-to-one career coaching programme offered to all individuals working in primary healthcare in England. The paper describes the coaching intervention and its context, followed by the development of an evaluation logic model and data collection tools. Results are summarised (for more detail see Carter and Hirsh, 2024). Reflections on the evaluation approach, methods and tools are shared with the aim of encouraging others to evaluate career interventions, especially with employed adults, in other contexts.

Abstract

This article examines the practical challenges of evaluating the impact of career development interventions with employed adults. It does this through a case example of a one-to-one career coaching programme offered to all individuals working in primary healthcare in England. The paper describes the coaching intervention and its context, followed by the development of an evaluation logic model and data collection tools. Results are summarised (for more detail see Carter and Hirsh, 2024). Reflections on the evaluation approach, methods and tools are shared with the aim of encouraging others to evaluate career interventions, especially with employed adults, in other contexts.
