NICEC is proud to join the Career Development Policy Group

NICEC is proud to add its voice to the Career Development Policy Group (CDPG) as an official member. 

The Career Development Policy Group brings together a range of organisations who believe that it is essential that citizens have an opportunity to access support in their careers. The group works with the Government and other stakeholders to develop policies and initiatives that support career development.

Alongside the other member organisations, NICEC will endeavour to positively advance the provision of lifelong career guidance and skills support through the development of clear and compelling policy positions, as well as leading co-ordinated campaigns to effect change, speaking with one voice on behalf of the career development sector.

The CDPG policy approaches includes establishing the value of career guidance in its own right, influencing government to regard career guidance as an investment rather than a cost, and recognising the vital role that it plays in addressing major economic and social issues, including social mobility, productivity and the transition to a net zero economy. 

These aims are currently grouped together under the "Career Guidance Guarantee" banner, which all at NICEC lend their support to. You can read more about this in our Policy Responses area.
