Career intervention ingredients and effect size

How the number of critical ingredients relates to the effect of career choice interventions

Column chart of average effect size by number of critical ingredients in a career intervention: 0.22 with none, 0.45 with one, 0.61 with two, 0.99 with three.
Effects rise as more ingredients are combined, so ask which ones each service actually uses. Source: Brown and Ryan Krane, meta-analysis of 62 career intervention studies, 2000

A column chart of results from Brown and Ryan Krane's meta-analysis of 62 career intervention studies. Interventions that used more of five critical ingredients (written exercises, individual feedback, world-of-work information, modelling and building support) had larger average effects. Careers services and quality teams can use it to check which ingredients their own offer includes before judging its outcomes. Koji can help gather what students say they took from each part of the service.
