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.
NICEC Network Meeting Online: Wednesday 13th May, 15:00- 17:00 pm
Decent Work and Career DevelopmentNICEC's next network meeting will be held online on 13 May. 'Decent work' sums up the aspirations of a lot of people in their working lives. Potentially it means work that is productive and delivers a fair income, security in the workplace and conditions that benefit people and their families, as well as prospects for personal development and a range of other freedoms. Many see it as key to achieving poverty reduction, social justice and fair globalisation. Our meeting addresses some of the particular challenges that careers practitioners face in supporting clients in relation to aspirations for decent work in the current and uncertain labour market.
Speakers to include: Speakers confirmed so far: Fiona Christie, Senior Research Associate, Decent Work and Productivity Research Centre, Manchester Metropolitan University: - 'What is Decent Work and why should it matter for Career Guidance?’
Christina Purcell, Lecturer, Decent Work and Productivity Research Centre, Manchester Metropolitan University: - "Young Delivery Workers in Greater Manchester – a research study”
Eileen Cunningham, Lecturer in Social Policy, University of Salford: - ‘Working for Nothing? Student and graduate experience of unpaid work’

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
