All in all
Career IAG is firmly on the political agenda.
There is a lot of policy based activity going on and
some major changes are likely.However it remains to be seen how much betterservices will emerge and how much it will just berearranging the deck chairs.

New technologies
Are largely, not about replacing people withmachines
They are about allowing people to talk to each othermore effectively
But the age of the knowledge specialist (e.g. thecareers adviser) is over
Careers workers have got to offer something morethan Google.

Key social media principles
User generated content Harness the power of networks Publish then filter, not filter then publish The perfect is the enemy of the good The long tail (we all contribute something) Folksonomy rather than taxonomy

Social media is a careermanagement skill
If people are going to navigate through their careerthey will need to use technology.
The ability to evaluate the usefulness of new
technologies and engage with them can therefore beseen as a career management skill.
Social media are particularly important as they enablepeople to develop social capital (networks).
If we are going to advise our clients to develop theseskills we need to have them ourselves.
