Careers Wales
Bangor, Gwynedd
Description
We deliver a remit set by the Minister for Education and Skills and support the Welsh Government’s strategic objectives as identified in the Programme for Government and related Welsh Government policies, such as the Youth Engagement and Progression Framework (YEPF). The overall focus for our service is to help people make effective decisions and become independent in managing their careers. This includes making realistic career decisions and plans, and ensuring successful progression and positive outcomes for individuals, who we support to gain appropriate training, further learning or employment. Our work helps to develop the nation’s skills base and to support the effectiveness of expenditure on education and training, thereby contributing to the economic and social well-being of Wales.
Career decisions are among the most important people make throughout their lives and careers information, advice and guidance can help to:
- improve knowledge and awareness of learning opportunities and the labour market;
- improve self-awareness, raise individual aspirations and support people to make effective decisions about their careers;
- increase access to, and completion of, learning and training;
- motivate people to manage their careers, improve application and interview skills and be resilient in adapting their plans when circumstances change;
- address inequality by focussing on the needs of groups who are under-represented in employment, learning or training and by challenging stereotyping; and
- improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the labour market, for example by improving the match between supply of, and demand for, skills.Careers Information, Advice And Guidance For People Of All Ages In Wales, Fostering Links Between Education And Business, Support For Careers Education Programmes In Schools And Colleges.
