Enhancing students career readiness through peer counselling programme in Hong Kong

Abstract

The present study is the first empirical research in Hong Kong to evaluate a peer career counselling programme consisting of a 3.5-day training and a school-based service project. Using a quasi-experimental design, the evaluation was based on the Career Readiness Scales ratings at three waves of data collection. Results showed that the programme was effective in enhancing peer counsellors’ career readiness. The effect came mainly from the training and less from the service project.
