Establishing a Personal Guidance Base in Two Colleges.
Further Education Unit, London (England).
The two reports in this publication describe attempts to establish personal guidance bases (PGB) in two further education (FE) colleges in Great Britain. Each report relates how the colleges used the model set forth in an earlier publication, "Towards a Personal Guidance Base," published in 1983, which elaborated the idea of a PGB, and adopted a multiagency, multisite model of operation. The first of the two reports, "The Development of a Personal Guidance Base at Tameside College of Technology," describes a project to develop a guidance system within the college in line with some of the proposals in the 1983 publication. The second report, "Towards a Personal Guidance Base: A College Response," highlights how Cassio College in Watford used the ideas in the 1983 document as a basis for a review of guidance services in the college. It states that the aims of the project were to formulate and implement an action plan for a new college advisory service and to describe some of the organizational implications. The reports describe candidly the difficulties encountered in developing guidance systems and some strategies for a successful implementation of the ideas in "Towards a Personal Guidance Base." Both reports indicate that establishing a system of guidance in a college is not an easy task, but that it is both feasible and worthwhile. (YLB)
