The UKCES (UK Commission for Employment and Skills) is running a consultation exercise on the needs of young people and adults for IAG.
- “To support employability and progression, individuals need clearer information, sounder advice and, where appropriate, more helpful guidance in making decisions on qualifications and training courses as well as jobs and career choices. This is vitally important for young people but increasingly important for adults too.
The main focus of the work we are undertaking this year is to explore how new technologies including web 2.0 and web 3.0 can be used to provide robust, accessible information, advice and guidance. The intention is not to develop tools, programmes or applications, but rather to understand and advise on how technology can most usefully support the delivery of IAG and what behaviours or stimulants may be needed for this to become a reality in the market place.
We have already carried out some work to inform the evidence base and from this have developed a consultation paper which reports the findings so far and invites people to respond to a series of questions. If you do have comments in this area we would welcome your input.”
