Quality and Membership Committee vacancies
The AGCAS Quality and Membership Committee currently has five vacancies available. These vacancies have arisen as a result of members completing their term of office, as well as the AGCAS Board approving the increase in size of the Committee Group to address two key issues facing AGCAS and its members: quality of career management provision within HEIs; and a growing and diversified membership of AGCAS.
What is it we do?
• Advise the AGCAS Board on policy relating to quality assurance of AGCAS member services.
• Make recommendations to the AGCAS Board on the accreditations of careers services, new members and membership issues.
• Monitor the development of the matrix Standard and other quality standards.
• Contribute to the debate on quality issues as they might apply to careers services and members.
• Promote continuing quality improvement (CQI) with AGCAS member services.
What are we working on during 2011/12?
• Ensuring member services comply with existing AGCAS-approved quality standards and providing training and support to aid compliance.
• Promoting and developing CQI.
• Working with the Training and Development Committee on the Register of Practitioners.
• Developing the membership model, which reflects today's careers guidance and student employability arrangements within HEIs in the UK, Ireland and elsewhere.
We do this by meeting three times per year, with each member of the committee allocated specific tasks and objectives.
What are we looking for?
• Are you interested in issues of quality, continuous improvement, service competence and client satisfaction?
• Do you want to promote the work of AGCAS and contribute to strategies which will increase/widen the membership base?
If yes, then please consider joining the Quality and Membership Committee.
