Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance Strategy
Education Minister, Caitríona Ruane, and Employment and Learning Minister, Sir Reg Empey, launched a careers strategy consultation on 22 October 2007.
Entitled ‘Preparing for Success’ the strategy aims to support better informed decision-making, leading to more effective career planning and through this to increased participation in education, training and employment. This strategy forms part of the Government's overarching Skills Strategy for Northern Ireland, ‘Success through Skills’.
It is envisaged that the strategy will enhance the careers education offered to young people and adults and will also ensure that the mechanisms are in place to enable the strategy to be based on up to date labour market information. The proposals have been developed following detailed stakeholder involvement.
