Career Competencies and Career Guidance – What is happening in Europe?

Today I’m in Copenhagen presenting at the Career Competencies and Career Guidance – What is happening in Europe? Seminar for guidance counsellors from Studievalg and eGuidance.

As well as me, delegate will be hearing from:

• Reinhardt Jåstad Røyset and Kjell Helge Kleppestø from Norway who will be talking about their new book about career education.
• Kim B. Hansen and Jacob Krummes from the careers service in the University of Southern Denmark who will be talking about how they have embedded career guidance in the curriculum of the University.
• Siobhan Neary from the University of Derby, England who will be talking about her work on the Leader Project.

I’m going to be giving two presentations as follows.

• Understanding career management skills
• Identifying the impact of career guidance

I think that it is going to be a really good day!

Focusing on what works? Policy and evidence in ‘interesting times’

Today I’m at the Aimhigher conference in Birmingham. I’m going to be talking about careers, policy, politics and the future. Just the usual… But this time I’ve added some Terry Pratchett quotes.

This is what I thought that I might say.

Career education and guidance – the changing landscape

I’m speaking today at the Festival of Higher Education, University of Buckingham. I plan to talk about the rationale for career education, the evidence that supports it and to say a little about where we are in the current policy and practice environment.

This is what I thought that I’d cover.

Moving beyond ‘what works’: Using the evidence base in lifelong guidance to inform policy making

I have recently published an article called ‘Moving beyond ‘what works’: Using the evidence base in lifelong guidance to inform policy making‘.

It is published in a German collection on the evidence base in lifelong guidance. You can buy the book for 35 euro. So hurry and get yourself a copy before Brexit closes the borders for ever!

I’ve also posted a version on the University of Derby archive, but the actual PDF is embargoed until 2019 so you’ll have to buy the book if you want it quickly.

Evidence of what works in careers and enterprise

 

Today I’m speaking in Leicester about the evidence base in careers and enterprise work. I’ll be addressing the LEP and its network of schools and employers.

This is what I thought that I might cover.

Building on what works

This morning I’m giving a brief webinar to Enterprise Coordinators and Enterprise Advisers associated with The Careers and Enterprise Company.

This is the sort of thing that I plan to cover.
