National Careers Week 2012 will offer careers professionals working in schools the chance to focus their efforts in providing urgent guidance for young people and raise awareness of the importance of careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG).

National Careers Week is a celebration of careers education, information, advice and guidance. From 5^th - 9^th March 2012, careers coordinators and careers advisers will be running special career workshops and activities in cooperation with local businesses, parents and teachers.
