In this one-and-a-half hour session Michelle Stewart set the scene drawing from her experience of writing the 'History of the Careers Services in the UK'.
This was followed by David Morgan, Chief Executive of the CDI with thoughts on innovation and CDI’s new strategy, and an overview of innovations in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Nikki Lawrence, Chief Executive of Careers Wales, then shared examples of innovative practices and projects taking place in career guidance in Wales including Work in Focus challenges, Future Jobs Wales, uses of AI to help triage needs and to support practitioners, virtual reality tours of careers centres for neurodivergent customers, and the award-winning Careers Craft.
Our speakers provided reflections and insights, and it was also a chance to discuss how we can share and learn from such innovative practice across the UK.
