Investing In Careers
This powerful analysis of the careers system in England was launched on 18th July 2023 at the APPG for Skills, Careers and Employment roundtable, co-hosted by the CDPG and Policy Connect at the Houses of Parliament.
It is a critical document supporting the call for a Career Guidance Guarantee for all young people and adults in England. Written by Tristram Hooley, Chris Percy and Siobhan Neary, with a forward by Baroness Garden of Frognal who chaired the roundtable, the report outlines the career guidance system in England, it's strengths and challenges and the key components of the Career Guidance Guarantee.
It then examines the current spend on the career guidance system - including both direct and indirect government funding - and estimates the additional funds that would be required to achieve the Guarantee. As well as additional funding, the paper makes the case for using existing funding more effectively, requiring a strategic and collaborative approach from government. Finally, the paper analyses the benefits such investment could bring to the economy and society.
CDPG resources
Among our activities to raise the profile of career development within the policy arena, the CDPG produces briefing papers, writes to Ministers and other key stakeholders, authors influential reports and organises events such as the Great debate.
We also share reports and resources from others that are valuable in understanding and affecting careers strategy and policy in England.
Most of this is available publicly, and we welcome feedback, suggestions on future policy briefings and offers to collaborate.
