NICEC Seminar: A Bill Law retrospective, Thursday 2nd July 2020 16.30- 18.30 (BST) [Online]
Revisiting some of Bill's key thinking in the current careers work context
Bill Law (1935-2017) was a Founding Fellow of NICEC. He devoted his entire working life to career education and counselling theory and practice, as a secondary school teacher, school counsellor, higher education lecturer, researcher, writer and, above all, an innovative and critical thinker. He continued to post entries on his Career Learning Café website right up until a few weeks before he died three years ago. In this seminar we will revisit a few of Bill’s principal pieces of work, to examine their relevance to careers work today and how we might make best use of his ideas in a contemporary context.

Career Development Policy and Practice: The Tony Watts Reader
Tony Watts, Founding Fellow of NICEC, retired in 2015, after decades of work in career development. To mark this event, NICEC published Career Development Policy and Practice: The Tony Watts Reader, with the idea of bringing together Tony’s most important writings into a single volume. Much of his work is out of print and much of the rest is tucked away in journals that can be difficult for people to access outside of universities. The editors, NICEC Fellows Tristram Hooley and Lyn Barham, wanted to draw the most enduring stuff together and give it another lease of life. The book offers a compendium of Tony's most influential writings and is a must for researchers and practitioners within the career guidance sector.Data protection
