Assembly’s skills development agenda and that ‘Team Wales’ partners are encouraged to contribute to, and use, Careers Wales Online.

Careers Wales: Review

‘The extent to which it is embedded in Assembly policies. It provides a

strong citizen-facing and citizen-centred infrastructure through which the

Assembly’s policies can be advanced. This is evident in the way that Careers

Wales On-Line has been adopted both as the key guidance tool and as the

key administrative tool for Learning Pathways 14-19. In addition, Careers

Wales performs important gate-keeping roles for a number of Assembly

programmes. Beyond this, it has potential to be used more extensively than at

present to provide feedback to policy-makers on the impact on individuals of

policies relating to education, training and employment, plus advocacy on

individuals’ unmet needs.’1
