The statement Im looking for from politicians on careerspolicy (from about 18 months ago)

Career support is a universal and lifelong need which underpins the effectivefunctioning of the labour and learning markets.Career support is a system. A national framework such as the Blueprint forCareers would be a huge step forwards.There has been a clear decline in the quality and quantity of career support inschools. The proposals of the Education Committee on Career Guidance for

Young People represents the most realistic way forward from the currentsituation.The National Careers Service has been the most important innovation of thisgovernment in relation to career support. However, its potential has yet to befully realised (particularly in relation to schools).There are both opportunities and dangers presented by the localisation ofcareers services. It is important to ensure a functioning middle tier.

What does the future hold?

Career education at the core of theeducation system.Lifelong learning and lifelong guidance arean entitlement for all.The triumph of the learning paradigm overthe matching paradigm.

Career development as an integral part ofHR strategy.Blended delivery is the norm.Highly skilled career professionals,respected by clients, other educators,

employers and policy makers. Access points in every major populationcentre from here to Gallifrey.
