Re: What are the key CEIAG elements needed to make these proposals work? |
Two key elements relate to there being a suitable route for every young person, and the advice and guidance to enable them to make an informed decision. There is a clear implication in respect of finance to support resources and qualified careers advisers. Some other factors will influence the effect of these key elements. If the opportunities for apprenticeships are not sufficiently increased, if the FE colleges are not given the increased funding to meet the predicted increase of young people applying to colleges.....
IAG and a suitable route for young people are a start. |

Re: Re: What are the key CEIAG elements needed to make these proposals work? |
| I agree with Ged - whilst I support the proposals in broad terms I'm concerned that they will reinforce the existing unequal three track system that we already have -i.e. A levels for academic (and largely middle class young people), vocational courses at college and limited training/apprenticeships for those with lower grades/with more complex lives and from (often) lower socio-economic backgrounds. |

Re: Re: Re: What are the key CEIAG elements needed to make these proposals work? |
| The key must be what the ICG is always banging on about - effective CEIAG ( sustitute the OECD definition?) for all, delivered by trained, competent practitioners. Therefore my answer to the question would be: improved information on learning and work options, a good CEd programme in all learning institutions, the offer of CIAG as a universal 'entitlement' and a policy and operational focus on enabling all young people ( and adults) to become effective career planners. OH....and the moon on a stick please! |
