   | | Latest NewsWelcome 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.
There is a lot happening at the moment so please take the time to review the opportunities presented by NICEC including: a call for papers for the October 2019 edition, our next seminar on 20th March and information about our forthcoming conference in April in Manchester.
Next NICEC eventThe Career Professional Pipeline Thursday 20th June 5.00- 6.30pm, Hamilton House, London
The recent emphasis on Personal Guidance in education has highlighted a shortage of qualified career advisers. This seminar will provide an opportunity to explore current research by Dr Siobhan Neary and Peter Priestley into the workforce needs of the Career Development Sector in the UK, and to learn more about the newly approved Career Development Professional Higher Apprenticeship. Designed by Career Development Sector employers responsible for managing the workforce needs, will the apprenticeship pathway support meeting these needs or prove to be a route little used? Key speakers are Claire Johnson, CDI Professional Development Manager and Dr. Michelle Stewart, Associate Lecturer Canterbury Christ Church University and Independent Careers Consultant Share this event on Facebook and Twitter.
