NICEC is a network of Fellows, in the UK and abroad, who are career education and counselling researchers and practitioners drawn from a wide range of settings. Fellows believe passionately in improving policy and practice through discovering and sharing evidence and developing career education and counselling theory.

We share our knowledge and learn from others through our Seminar series, the NICEC Journal and our publications. NICEC Members receive the Journal and attend Seminars at discounted rates. Why not join us and contribute to developing career guidance practice, theory and policy.

• The Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) has published a report on qualitative research into adult career decision-making. The study was undertaken by an Institute for Employment Studies (IES) team led by Rosie Gloster (Senior Research Fellow). A NICEC Fellow, Wendy Hirsh, was involved in all stages of the project, especially the development of the theoretical underpinning of the research and the typology of decision-making which emerged from the rich interview data. NICEC Fellow Leigh Henderson conducted the research on prisoners that forms an unusual and fascinating part of the study.
