Contribution employers can make to career guidance: call for evidence
19 October 2011
iCeGS in partnership with the Policy Research Institute at Leeds Metropolitan University are working on a project for the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES). The project aims to gain a greater understanding of the role that employers can and do play in the delivery of effective career guidance that culminates in sustainable jobs.
The project includes a survey to identify good practice, a literature review and the development of a number of case studies. This timely and exciting research is due to report in January 2012.
Aim of this survey
This survey provides an opportunity for stakeholders to share experiences and insights and identify good practice in relation to the role of employers in supporting career guidance.
Who should respond to the research?
We would like to hear from all stakeholders that have an interest in this area, in particular:
- Employer representatives
- Individual employers
- Career guidance organisations and practitioners including community and voluntary sector based career services
- Welfare to Work providers, FE Colleges, Work Based Learning Providers
- Government departments (Department for Work and Pensions; Department for Business, Innovation and Skills)
