A learner perspective
‘The Blueprint covers what you want from a career, how hard you are prepared to work/study for it and how much it will cost you to train/study. It challenges your own work values and the probability that you will not have a job for life and that there may be several career changes. I wish I had received this when I was at school.’

Blueprint: What is the philosophy behind it?
“Career management is not about making the right occupational choice. It’s about equipping people with the competencies (skills, knowledge, attitudes, character, emotional intelligence) to make the myriad of choices with which adults are confronted, in all aspects of their lives and throughout life to become confident, healthy, self reliant citizens, able to cope with constant change in the labour market and maintain balance between life and work roles.” Phil Jarvis
