The final report of the Career Review, entitled 'Skills and experiences to grow and succeed in a rapidly changing world', describes how this redesign will be delivered.
This includes detail of:
-
implementation plans developed by different ‘sectors’ of the career ecosystem, including education, colleges, universities, Developing the Young Workforce, Skills Development Scotland, youth services and local authority employability.
-
the Career Development Model which will underpin the delivery of future services, enabling individuals to more easily access experiences that meet their needs.
-
an outline approach to experiential career learning across different stages of education. designed to give learners the skills, agency and confidence to make decisions that are right for them.
-
further details of the Career Services Collaborative through which those with an interest, direct or indirect, can work together to deliver the career services of the future.
With the publication of this report, the Career Review has completed the most comprehensive review of Scotland’s career system in a generation.
Responsibility for implementation now passes to the organisations that deliver career services, overseen by the new Career Services Collaborative.
