What is a potential outcome of not providing information and referral services?

Not providing information and referral services can lead to underutilization of resources because individuals may not have access to critical information about available services or programs that could support their career development and lifestyle choices. These resources could include job training programs, educational opportunities, mental health services, or community support groups. When individuals are unaware of these resources, or if they lack guidance on how to access them, they miss out on opportunities that could enhance their skills, improve their employability, and foster personal empowerment. Consequently, without proper assistance to identify and connect with these services, the overall effectiveness of the support ecosystem is diminished, resulting in lost opportunities for individuals to thrive in their career and personal lives.
