Blog Entry | 0 replies | 06-October-2006 | Hayley Reynolds |
The Centre for Guidance Studies (CeGS) have recently published a research report written by Briony Webb of Careers Wales on young people's decision-making at age 16. The research findings are of interest not only to managers and practitioners, but those interested in the relationship between research and local policy and practice.
'Transforming Young People's Decision-Making at Age 16' by Briony Webb reports on research and consultation carried out by Careers Wales West for the Pembrokeshire Network. The project was designed to determine how careers education and guidance provision could best be developed in order to facilitate young people's access to a wide range of academic and vocational courses and training, without restriction of institutional barriers and interests. The report also provides a case-study of ways in which research data collected at local level can support reviews of local policy and practice. The findings suggest that many of the conditions to achieve this are already in place for some young people; many simply involve adjustments to exisiting good practice. What do you think?
