Why your school or college should employ a qualified careers adviser

​

In their research, the Careers and Enterprise Company found that personal guidance delivered by a qualified professional was found to support personal effectiveness (self-image, self-efficacy, motivation, and resilience), career readiness (understanding of occupations, decision-making, self-preparation, and transition preparedness), and also educational outcomes (increased attendance, reduced drop-out, enhanced attainment, and progression to personally valued educational destinations). All of these outcomes are valued by school and college leaders, and underline how investing in professionally qualified careers advisers can support the wider priorities of an educational institution as much as students’ personal development and growth.
