'Radical changes ahead for careers services' NICEC report
A new report concludes that radical changes already taking place in some institutions will have significant implications for the roles and continuing professional development of higher education careers staff.
In the report, Break-Out or Break-Up? Implications of Institutional Employability Strategies for the Role and Structure of University Careers Services, Tony Watts and Val Butcher examine the role of four HE careers services in relation to their institutions' strategies for employability, enterprise, employer engagement and PDP. They conclude that the radical changes taking place in some quarters are a sign of things to come and have significant implications for the roles and continuing professional development of HE careers staff.
The universities examined are Birmingham, Central Lancashire, Lancaster and Liverpool John Moores.
The report was funded by HECSU for PROP (Putting Research Outcomes into Practice).
