Resources and Links:Careers guidance/IAG through the decades and the black caribbean males, the first generation 45 to 50yr olds
Currently doing a masters in careers at uel london in my final year will need to put together a research dissertation - an idea is something based on how careers guidance/IAG (information, advise & guidance) has influenced or not black caribbean males (45 - 50yrs) - where they able to access help regarding work and/or learning? - What help did they receive? What were the influences on their career decision making. I've used this particualr age band and culture simply because i'm 45+ educated here, received limited career guidance + other factors. The findings should be interesting on how the black caribbean male made use or not of careers guidance/IAG looking for additonal ideas or information |

Have you tried the Joseph Rowntree Foundation Website? | Discussion Topic | 0 replies | 11-February-2006 | Lucy Marris |
This sounds like really interesting research - so good luck! I'm not aware of much around this particular area so it will be really interesting to see what your own literature review and/or interviews find out. It would be great to hear the career stories of people in that age bracket and culture and hear what they have to say.... I wonder if you might be interested in some of the publications on the jrf website.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation website http://www.jrf.org.uk/ has some interesting stuff - though it may not be quite as specific as you are looking for. For example, there's a 1999 report 'Young Caribbean men and the labour market: a comparison with other ethnic groups' which you can access the findings from at: http://www.jrf.org.uk/knowledge/findings/socialpolicy/N69.asp Also, and possibly more interesting is a 2002 report 'The needs of excluded young people in multi-cultural communities' you can access findings at: http://www.jrf.org.uk/knowledge/findings/socialcare/212.asp amongst the findings is the observation that 'There are significant numbers of 16- to 17-year-olds disengaged from education, employment and training.' and that of these 'Many are unknown to the Careers Service and a disproportionate number of these are from minority ethnic groups'. The website might provide some interesting background information. I suppose it might depend on whether you are interested in career guidance (or lack of) received at school or whether you are more interested in access and/or provision of services (or not)later on in life. I'll be to interested to see others ideas. |
