157 Group – a membership organisation that represents some colleges in England has published a new policy paper on careers information advice and guidance (IAG). Endorsed by the Institute for Career Guidance 157 Group has released ‘Information is not enough: the case for professional careers guidance,’ which emphasises the important role that FE colleges have to play in career guidance after the demise of Connexions and the major reforms of the career service.
This is particularly significant for those who do not have access to strong family networks and personal contacts that can be called on for advice about different occupations.
