AGCAS welcomes new code of practice
AGCAS welcomes the recently-launched revised QAA Code of Practice on Career Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (Section 8) and is pleased to have been centrally involved in the revision of the code.
One of 10 sections, which form an overall code of practice for the assurance of academic quality and standards in higher education, Section 8 is intended to help higher education institutions both to meet students' expectations in respect of their preparedness for their future career, and to produce graduates equipped to meet the fluctuating demands of the employment market of today and tomorrow.
AGCAS CEO, Margaret Dane, said:
'The focus on the whole institution's responsibility for CEIAG presents opportunities as well as challenges to HE careers services to lead on and influence the employability agenda in their institutions.'
