Paving the way – report from the sutton trust on careers guidance in secondary schools
Erica Holt-White will present findings from recent research by the Sutton Trust on guidance in secondary schools.
The report looks at findings from teachers, Careers Leaders and school pupils to investigate the guidance now available to young people, their engagement with the activities and opportunities on offer, and any barriers to improving provision in schools and colleges. It also proposes a set of recommendations to improve the guidance offer for socioeconomically disadvantaged students in particular.
Attendance is free for members of the CDI.
Maximising the effectiveness of LMI in practice
The up-dated guidance from the UK government relating to the provision of career guidance in schools and colleges in England re-states the critical role of high quality careers support for young people’s futures.
High quality career guidance is informed by high quality labour market information (LMI) (Bimrose, 2020), but in England, the LMI landscape is complex and can be confusing. New research supported by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and undertaken Dr Sally-Anne Barnes and Professor Jenny Bimrose has investigated the range of sources for the supply of labour market information (LMI) and intelligence in England.
The webinar will map out the LMI system in England focusing on the range of organisations at national, regional and local level playing different roles in supplying, interpreting and/or disseminating data and information on the economy and labour market. With over 100 sources reviewed for the research, the webinar will suggest ways to choose between sources.
Attendance is free for members of the CDI.

Developing the talent pipeline for the career development sector
Caroline Green and Claire Johnson will be hosting this webinar meeting to discuss how we as a sector make it a fulfilling place to be, for another 100 years and beyond.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Full and equal access and participation for women and girls in science
Science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Yet women and girls continue to be excluded from participating fully in science.
