Career Guidance for Adults in Wales - Making a Difference

The Careers Wales Chief Executives’ group is delighted to endorse the publication of the adult impact assessment conducted by the Quality Managers of the six Careers Wales Companies and welcome with interest the foreword prepared by the Centre for Guidance Studies. This is the first assessment of the impact of the provision of adult guidance by Careers Wales, and it offers a useful insight into the value of careers guidance to our clients and to the Welsh Assembly Government's agenda of lifelong learning up-skilling the workforce and getting more people into employment. In particular, the research provides a useful foundation for similar work to be conducted on the impact of careers guidance services to other client groups across Wales.
