The improvement of employees' professional competence through quality learning and development is the most important goal of any organization. For this purpose, special attention to develop the skills of the novice professionals to replace the aging workforce has great significance. Novice professionals should learn and grow at work in a way that it must influence quality of their grooming as well as progression in career however, not much is known about the way it occurs. Like all other hierarchical larger organizations, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) also have to stay current on such learning and development practices. Therefore, in this research work, quality learning and development related aspects of both components of LEAs, the Pakistan Police and the Civil Armed Forces have been focused. The extent to aspects like career guidance & dialogues, team level learning, and mental model development practices have an impact on quality learning and development of novice professionals in LEAs based at Islamabad, Punjab, Sind, Khyber Pakhtukhwa (KPK), and Baluchistan regions has been investigated. Two stages sampling, stratified sampling followed by systematic random sampling method were used to gather the data, and SPSS version 26 was used for analysis. The findings revealed that identified grooming aspects have a significant positive impact on quality learning and development of novice professionals when mediated by attitude to continuous learning which itself had moderation effect of talent-oriented development. Furthermore, Artificial Neural Network technique was also applied to have improved insight of such factors on quality learning and development, the outcome was favorable. According to the study, LEAs can develop their novice professionals effectively by choosing a correct methodology that is practical rather than adhering to conventional techniques. Such measures will not only help the individual professionals but will also strengthen the organization as a whole to achieve the envisioned goals.

“…In the Nigerian context, because of the complexity of its political and socio-economic settings, many challenges are associated with students' negative behaviour in secondary school. The challenges include drug abuse, sexual exploitation, kidnapping, unstable homes, stealing, cultism, truancy (Ibrahim, Aloka, Wambiya & Raburu, 2014;Universal Basic Education Commission, 2010). Mogbo, Obumneke-Okeke and Anyachebelu (2011) opined that recent trends in the education system in Nigeria, such as population explosion, examination malpractice, bullying, poor academic performance, quarrelling and other forms of maladaptive behaviours necessitated the need for effective provision of guidance and counselling services in schools.…”

Students are often faced with numerous challenges, which can bring on stress, anxiety, depression or relationship problems with those around them. Because of the foregoing, this study examined the principals’ perception of guidance and counselling in secondary schools. The study population consist of all principals in secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. Non-probability sampling techniques (stratified, purposive and convenience) were employed to select 20 principals to participate in the study. An instrument titled “Interview Guide on Guidance and Counselling Services (IGGCS)” was used to collect relevant data from the principals while secondary data were obtained from the counselling department of the schools. Nvivo software (version 10) was used to analyse the data collected. The findings of the study revealed that principals believe the provision of counselling services had a significant impact on student's academic achievement, even though most of the secondary schools do not have a good counselling unit, qualified counsellors, and counselling facilities. This study recommends that a well-equipped counselling unit should be available in schools. Only certified counsellors should be deployed to offer counselling services to students. Lastly, students should be sensitized and encouraged by the school on the need for them to go for counselling to solve their numerous challenges.

“…Some gender studies have also been carried out on students" awareness towards career guidance in schools. These concluded that most girls did not consider career guidance as an important factor for making career choices (Andrea, 2014;Ibrahim, Aloka, Wambiya & Raburu, 2014). Whereas Parhar et al (2013) presented the view that there was no difference in adequacy of direction and advising among female and male were found regarding career guidance.…”

Career guidance had been a strong variable for consideration in democratic societies at global level. Individual autonomy and choice making is imperative for indulging in better market economy. Career guidance programs, if introduced at university level are very helpful for students in overcoming hesitation in career choices and selecting desirable study paths. The study compared career guidance needs among students at higher education level in Pakistan with reference to gender. Mix method design was adopted to extract data from graduating students enrolled in Management Sciences through questionnaire and semi structured interviews (male=100, female=100). Findings illuminated that male students (μ=4.1) have a clear idea about career guidance through internship programs whereas female students (μ=3.1) differed in their views about it. Male students suggested that career planning strategies, if implemented in their course may help designing lifelong careers whereas female students’ focus was towards development of effective career skills only. It is suggested that career guidance is on the brink of coming a national reality at all of the educational levels, so it may be included as a vital part in curriculum. Furthermore, as female students in our society are given less projection so they may be provided with more chances of exposure towards their future careers.
