A comprehensive career guidance program for young people should encompass several key components to effectively support their career exploration and development. Here are several essential components:
1. Self-exploration and assessment: The program should include activities and tools that encourage young people to explore their interests, values, strengths, and skills. Self-assessment tools, such as career interest inventories or personality assessments, can help young individuals gain self-awareness and identify potential career paths that align with their unique attributes.
2. Information and exploration of career pathways: Provide young people with access to comprehensive and up-to-date information about various career pathways. This includes information about different industries, occupations, educational requirements, job prospects, and potential career trajectories.
3. Goal setting and action planning: Help young individuals set realistic career goals and develop action plans to achieve them. This involves breaking down long-term goals into smaller, manageable steps and identifying the resources, education, or training required to pursue their chosen career paths.
4. Skill development and training opportunities: Offer opportunities for young people to develop the skills and competencies needed for their desired careers. This may include workshops, training programs, internships, or apprenticeships.
5. Mentoring and networking: Facilitate mentoring relationships and networking opportunities for young individuals. Pair them with mentors who have experience in their desired fields, and who can provide guidance, advice, and professional insights.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
