Integrating new technologies into careers practice: Extending the knowledge base
This UKCES report serves to introduce and analyse some of the key topics relating to the role and potential of technology in identifying effective methods for improving the provision of careers information, advice and guidance.
A greater integration of new information and communication technologies (ICT) in careers practice is being mediated by changes occurring within public, private and community sectors. This report examines emerging structures for the delivery of services, together with the impact of ICT integration, especially for workforce development. It complements and extends recently published UKCES reports that have examined the way in which technology can enhance careers support and the ways that labour market information (LMI) is already used online. It also builds upon earlier research findings, which examined government's role in stimulating, regulating and/or compensating for market failure in careers support services.
Through a series of in-depth interviews and consultations with policy-makers, senior executives from industry and commerce, employers and careers practitioners, a complex picture emerges with significant variations and opportunities for integrating ICT more fully into careers policies and practices across the UK.
