These indicators will look at provision of support for learning and career decisions. The recent report on factors affecting student decision making will be used as one source for deriving indicators (see link below).
1. Key indicators
The analysis of TEO profiles showed that support for learning and career decisions was not a strategic focus of most TEOs. While many do provide services in this area, few TEOs mentioned it as an area for development in their profile objectives.

- Impact of Student Support Services and Academic Development Programmes on Student Outcomes in Undergraduate Tertiary Study: A Synthesis of the Research
- This project researched the characteristics of academic staff development programmes and student support services offered in tertiary institutions that make a difference for undergraduate tertiary students in their studies. Student outcomes comprised achievement, participation, progression, retention and completion. The research findings will assist institutions with decision-making around policies and programmes that are likely to be effective for students. The research was undertaken by Massey University College of Education. For each of these aspects a search and synthesis of literature was undertaken and a series of propositions developed. The research is presented in three reports – a full report, and two summary reports for academic staff development and student support services.
