Resumen: En los últimos años se han multiplicado los programas orientados a la formación de emprendedores y el fomento de la cultura e iniciativa emprendedora, aunque la evaluación de estos servicios y programas no ha recibido la misma atención. En este trabajo se presentan los primeros resultados de un estudio exploratorio sobre las barreras que dificultan el emprendimiento y cómo abordarlos desde la orientación para la carrera. En concreto se estudia el programa de emprendimiento universitario llevado a cabo en el Centro de Orientación y Empleo (COIE) de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED). Los resultados obtenidos identifican los inhibidores para emprender y los motivos que tienen los emprendedores universitarios noveles para el abandono de sus proyectos de emprendimiento. Asimismo, se presentan los aspectos personales de mejora identificados por los promotores de proyectos para continuar con sus iniciativas, y algunas propuestas para la mejora de los servicios de orientación a emprendedores que sus usuarios manifiestan.Abstract: In recent years, programmes aimed at training entrepreneurs and promoting culture and entrepreneurial initiative have multiplied, although the evaluation of these services and programmes has not received the same attention. This paper presents the first results of an exploratory study on the barriers that hinder entrepreneurship and how to approach them from career guidance. Specifically, the university entrepreneurship programme carried out at the Counselling and Employment Center (COIE) of The National Distance Education University (UNED) is studied. The results obtained identify the inhibitors to entrepreneurship and the reasons that beginner’s university entrepreneurs have for revoking their entrepreneurship projects. Likewise, the personal aspects of improvement identified by the project promoters are presented to continue with their initiatives, and some proposals for the improvement of the guidance services for entrepreneurs that their users manifest.

We examine the effectiveness and sustainability of the distance teacher education program established by the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana, by investigating the differences in the academic performance of students who are trained in the teacher education program via traditional and distance education modes, respectively, from 2011 to 2015. Close attention is paid to the factors that affect the academic performance of students in the distance mode. Our findings confirm that traditional mode students perform better than their distance mode counterparts in terms of cumulative GPAs. Gender and economic demographics of distance study centers are found to affect the academic performance of distance education students significantly. The policy implications of these findings are discussed and directions of further action are outlined.

Contextual factors have received increased attention in understanding the challenges and difficulties in translating career education and career guidance services from Western societies to non-Western societies, many of which are undertaking a shift from a socialist and collectivistic system to a more individualistic one. In this article, using China as an example, we discussed the contextual factors in different ecological systems, such as economical, educational, and sociocultural, and how they may facilitate or impede youth career education in a transitioning society. We reviewed a career education program in a Chinese senior middle school to illustrate such impacts. Additionally, we proposed strategies for further development of youth career education in China as well as in other countries with similar transitions. We introduced a framework of a diversified concept of career and several context-resonant career development theories to be considered in guiding youth career education programs in these transitioning societies.

Abstract As a result of enactment of Law 297/1999, many Italian universities could improve the opportunities in applied research, activating spin-offs and start-ups in conformity with those regulations. This is a new challenge in the universities’ mission: universities are capable (and therefore they are asked) to generate not only new knowledge and competent professional profiles, but also to make a new effort in implementing the “third mission” for promoting social innovation. Considering this background, we present a research project - a training intervention named “Participatory culture, personal branding and organisational wellness” - by Espéro Pvt, a spin-off of the University of Salento, for Geodata Engineering Ltd., located in Turin, Italy. Presented below are the theoretical framework (learning organisation, empowerment evaluation and organisational wellness) and the methodology, as well as the first results.
