IAG Provision and Higher Education

In 1997, Dearing recommended that institutions of higher education should ‘over the medium term, integrate their services more fully into academic affairs’ and that ‘the Government, in the medium and long term, should integrate careers advice for lifelong learning, to complement services based inside higher education institutions. The Government’s response stated that it ‘will be addressing, with interested parties, the scope for closer working links between careers services within and outside higher education’.
