AGCAS and the Careers Profession Alliance
AGCAS has decided not to continue to be part of the Careers Profession Alliance (CPA). The AGCAS Board of Directors took the decision after consulting member services and taking into consideration their views and priorities.
AGCAS President, Anne-Marie Martin, said:
"The changing nature of higher education careers services and the drive to increase the employability of students and graduates mean that AGCAS, on behalf of its members, must continue to focus on a broader range of agendas than CPA currently addresses.
We wish the CPA all the best with its work to develop a common framework for guidance services and we intend to keep lines of communication open."
The CPA was informed of AGCAS' decision before its meeting on 6 October 2011.
