In this one-and-a-half hour session Michelle Stewart will set the scene drawing from her experience of writing the 'History of the Careers Services in the UK'. This will be followed by speakers from Wales and Scotland who will share innovative practices and projects taking place in career guidance in the home nations including learner profiles, experiential career learning, armed forces skills mapping, Careerscraft, Future Jobs Wales and developing a prototype data intelligence hub.
Our speakers will provide reflections and insights on how these came about, the experiences of delivery and outcomes or conclusions reached. It will also be a chance to discuss how we can share and learn from such innovative practice across the UK.
