What does the future of careers look like?

Written By Carrie Normoyle

Last week I attended the Westminster Forum “Next steps for careers guidance in England's schools and post-16 settings”

So interesting to get an idea of what the future holds for the guidance sector. My key takeaways were:

-The new governments commitment and drive for careers

-National Careers Service and Job Centre Plus merging

-Honouring the manifesto pledge of 2 weeks work experience - this will likely be gradated , not necessarily a 2 week block

-Training 1,000 new careers advisers

Alex Iles described careers as the octopus underpinning employment, progression, skills development. Feeling hopeful for the future of our profession.
