Abstract	Germany's career guidance system and policies were evaluated. Data were collected through meetings with policymakers and guidance practitioners in the public and private sectors, an analysis of data from a national questionnaire, and a review of pertinent documentation. The evaluation focused on the following areas: reviewing the role of Germany's Federal Employment Service; strengthening guidance within educational institutions; extending services for employed adults; quality assuring the private sector; strengthening professional standards; and exploring ways of extending collaboration and leadership. Key strengths of Germany's career guidance system were as follows: the all-age guidance system provided by the Federal Employment Service; extensive access to high-quality information; the strong formally defined partnerships between the Federal Employment Service and educational institutions; and the strong partnerships between educational institutions and the world of work. The following potential weaknesses of the system were identified: somewhat bureaucratic guidance structures that may not always attend adequately to individuals' needs; the relative lack of attention to self-awareness and career management skills; the limited level of professional training and professional association support for many guidance practitioners; and the lack of quality standards and quality assurance mechanisms. The following items are appended: a list of review team members; the review visit schedule; and a summary of suggestions and recommendations. (Contains 21 footnotes.) (MN)
