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.
