Future Ready careers education pilot - impact evaluation report

By Rachael Fitzpatrick

Education Development Trust collaborated with the Ministry of Education Jordan, INJAZ and Education for Employment (EFE) to co-develop and pilot a whole-school careers education and guidance intervention in Jordan, called Future Ready.

The pilot took place over 12 weeks (February to June 2022) with grade 9 students in Amman and Zarqa. The model integrated the following components of effective careers education and guidance:

  • careers guidance and counselling (one-to-one, or with peer groups)
  • a whole-school approach to careers education (enriching careers learning with subject
  • curriculums)
  • experiential learning (co- and extra-curricular activities)
  • information (labour market information and education pathways options).

 

Surveys and interviews were conducted throughout with participants on process and programme impact, with key findings reported in relation to student development of career management skills and working towards social, economic and educational impact. The pilot was found to have a positive impact on students across all metrics, from increasing motivation for learning to starting to shift gender limiting stereotypes about appropriate jobs.
