Accompanying research and evaluation program Career Credit

These specifications describe the accompanying research and evaluation program of the career credit system. This is the new system of subsidized career guidance that will be used by the WEWIS Department from 2027 to support and strengthen professionally active people in their careers. The career credit system is the successor to the current career checks system. The accompanying research and evaluation program has the following objectives: • Assessing the extent to which the reform objectives of the career credit system regarding quality, efficiency and administrative simplification have been achieved • Assessing the extent to which subsidized career guidance through the career credit system contributes to positive effects among users in the short and medium term • Identifying opportunities for further development and adjustment of the career credit system in order to strengthen, monitor and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the system in the future • Learning about the ways in which employees and self-employed people can be optimally supported in their active careers. To achieve these objectives, the client identifies five components: 1. Evaluability and inception study of career policy; 2. Process evaluation of the career credit system; 3. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the career credit system; 4. Development and testing of a framework for future policy monitoring and evaluation. 5.
