National Career Awards

2010

The annual National Career Awards celebrate and reward projects at the forefront of professional innovation in career guidance. 

The world of careers education, information, advice and guidance continues to undergo significant changes which offer huge challenges to managers and practitioners in terms of service delivery, funding, ethos and policy; this year's awards will doubtless reflect these ongoing challenges.

We are now inviting entries for the 2010 awards. You can find the relevant documents on the right - simply click to download.
