I'm really looking forward to attending the book launch in September for 'Careers in Tech, Data and Digital: from education to employment', authored by Christina Lovelock.

This is a really exciting new publication for BCS and if you can make it to the marvellous city of Sheffield then come along and meet Tina to hear all about it.

It’s a work in progress, but I have a theory that if we ditched careers guidance completely in schools and just focused on teaching pupils how to build a tower with spaghetti and marshmallows, their success rate at assessment centres would rocket.

More schools meet careers benchmarks, but most miss target.

Concern grows over the high number of early withdrawals on #apprenticeships and #TLevels. Some of this will be the final 'lagging' numbers post-lockdown, but the sector needs some support. Better funding, a more flexible approach to inspections for work-based programmes, quality publicly-funded #CEIAG available in all regions and revising the functional skills requirements post-16 would be good starting points.
