Careers Education - Current National Picture

The moment any summary of national developments in careers education is written it begins to become out of date. Over the last few years a lot of national guidance and initiatives have been promoted in relation to careers education and careers work generally. Interest in careers education reflects the national education policy agenda and focus (see below).

The easiest way to keep abreast of developments is to link into good sources of regular information which are both quick to assimilate and easily accessible. See below:
