Government policy on English schools' careers activities indicates an emphasis on employer interventions over traditional career guidance. A literature review suggested that the impact of employer interventions on students' career learning was less fully researched than that of traditional guidance. This study evaluates and compares the impact of career guidance interviews and selected employer careers interventions. Using a pre-test-post-test quantitative methodology (n=233) to measure the interventions' effects on different career learning outcomes, the study suggests that vocational guidance interviews are more effective than employer interventions at enhancing the vocational identity and decision-making self-efficacy of year 10 and 11 students.

The last third of the book incorporates extensive footnotes, bibliography, and three indices. Because of the scope of the work, the author is largely limited to scholarly compendia, though detailed bibliography is provided on a surprising number of controversial interpretations.

This article argues firstly, from the context of ecumenical part-residential training, that ministerial identity is formed through attention to God's presence in the margins -those transitional places where the interrelationships between God, the Church, and the wider world are grounded. Secondly, by drawing on the work of Volf, Moltmann, McFadyen, and Ford, this formational process is characterized as one which is essentially pneumatic, pointing to the Spirit as boundary-crosser, the one who inhabits the betwixt and between as well as the tension between the now and the not yet. Thirdly, God's presence in these transitions is illustrated by viewing one great transitional event, Good Friday, through a pneumatic lens. We suggest that the formational quality which such a transition demands of ministers is resilience. The article concludes by briefly examining the potential for three other transitional events in this paschal cycle (Holy Saturday, Easter Day, and Pentecost) to demand the formational qualities of watchfulness, hospitality, and trustfulness from both ministers and from the Church.
