Careers Services in England - government announces changes

The government has published white papers outlining its plans for careers provision in England for young people and adults respectively.

Every Child Matters: Next Steps requires children's trusts to be set up in each local authority area. Funding which currently goes directly to 47 Connexions partnerships will, by April 2008, go directly to all 150 local authority areas. The proposals are intended to provide a balance of opportunity, support and challenge to ensure a successful transition for every young person to adulthood.

World Class Skills announces plans to reinforce support for individuals to improve their skills and progress in work. A new, universal careers service for adults, fully operational in 2010-11, will provide labour market focused advice on learning, work and careers.
