| THE SOUTHAMPTON RESEARCH ON CAREER GUIDANCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE: A BRIEFING NOTE | Tony Watts | May 2005 |
In recent discussions on the
future of Connexions, senior civil servants have referred to recent
research undertaken at the University of Southampton which, they
suggest, demonstrates that the learning-choice and career guidance young
people need could be provided as effectively (and more cost-efficiently)
by teachers or other in-school staff given limited training. The view
apparently is that young people get their career advice mainly from
teachers and parents, with no strong evidence of value for money or
effectiveness of advice from independent expert career guidance. The
Southampton evidence is being invoked to support the proposal to divide
the Connexions Service into ‘universal’ and ‘targeted’ services, and to
pass the funding for the former to schools and colleges.
