[ Guidance Policy ]
The Centre for Guidance Studies (CeGS) at the University of Derby has recently published three new Occasional Papers. Read on to learn more...

Professors Jenny Bimrose and Jim Sampson gave their Inaugural Professorial Lectures as part of Guidance Week held at Derby University in June.  Their lectures have been produced as Occasional Papers and can be viewed at CeGS website

Jenny Bimrose's Paper, titled 'The Changing Context of Career Practice: Guidance, Counselling or Coaching?', focuses on the consequences of policy change on the training, continuing professional development and occupational identity of the practitioners who deliver services in England.  It provides an overview of labour market changes, considers the concept of occupational identity and presents research from an on-going qualitative, longitudinal case study of effective guidance.  

Jim Sampson's Paper, 'Promoting Continuous Improvement in Delivering Career Resources and Services', examines factors that influence continuous improvement in the design and delivery of career resources and services.

You can also learn about the Development of Career Scotland's Service Delivery Framework by reading an Occasional Paper written by Nick Fairweather, Doug Govan and Marlene McGlynn.  It is designed to be of use to organisations that are interested in exploring the adoption of similar models of service delivery.  Click here to read more

These Papers are highly recommended.  Read on and share your comments...  I'm interested to hear your thoughts!

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
