Latest News
Welcome to NICEC’s new website! Whilst the content is substantially the same as before, we hope that it is easier to navigate around the site and visitors find the design attractive. A significant change is that there is now just one private area for Fellows and Members which provides access to back copies of the NICEC Journal and materials from NICEC Seminars and Network Meetings.

Indian Journal of Career and Livelihood Planning
The new issue (Volume 6, Issue 1) of the Indian Journal of Career and Livelihood Planning (IJCLP), is now online.
The papers in this issue are an interesting and wide ranging collection. In summary:
- Vipin Negi and Sachin Kumar discuss the implications of the now increasingly common nonstandard forms of employment.
- Shashidhar Jagadeeshan draws upon his vast experience as a teacher to present the nuances of introducing students to the complex world of work they will shortly enter.
- Peter Robertson draws our attention to the contributions of Roy Bhaskar and Amartya Sen and presents the possibility of using their ideas as frameworks for new approaches to career guidance.
- From a practitioner dimension, Maribon Viray presents the findings of a quasi-experimental study of a school based career guidance intervention which shows significant improvements in career preparation status and a reduction in the negativity of career beliefs after the intervention.
- Sandra Buela, Rayan Miranda and Sajma Aravind examine the Government of India’s skill development initiatives and make the point that the interface between skill development and career guidance initiatives, not only in India but in many other countries, remains weak.
- Jyothis Paul’s report of career guidance services in the South Indian state of Kerala provides a shining example of what can be done for the systematic delivery of career guidance services through the State.
