Book Synopsis
This book is an innovative alternative to traditional Careers guides, written for anyone creating or delivering a Careers programme to pre-18 learners. It creates a bridge between the concepts of Employability and Careers to highlight how learners can be supported to better understand those first few decisions about study and work .

The book will help you build on your existing work to enhance and get more impact from your Careers programme.

This book:
