The overall purpose of this Consultation Paper is to make policy proposals for the future development of Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) and to set out a strategy that will address the CEIAG needs of individuals of all ages.
CEIAG is an integral part of the Department of Education's Entitled 2 Succeed Programme and the Department of Employment and Learning's Success Through Skills Strategy which highlight the need for an independent all-age strategy for CEIAG. The proposed strategy aims to support young people and adults in better-informed decision
making, leading to more effective career planning and increased participation in education, training and employment. Stakeholder perspectives for this strategy were gathered through use of the Futuresearch methodology.
This strategy paper proposes a VISION for the future of careers services for the citizens of Northern Ireland and makes KEY RECOMMENDATIONS on how such a vision can be implemented.

The Leitch review examined the existing skills base of the adult population in the UK in the context of a global economy and made recommendations on how this base should be improved to enable the UK to successfully compete in the world economy in 2020 as well as to have a prosperous society for all. Chapter 6 entitled "Embedding a Learning Culture" considers how the existing careers advice and information services support national learning strategies, and how they can be improved to provide better support for such strategies, especially demand or citizen led training provision in a Learner Account approach..

This literature review undertaken (2005)for the Higher Education Careers Services Unit in the UK by the Institute of Employment Research at the University of Warwick, examined career-related interventions and their impact on students' career related decisions, career learning and progression towards the labour market.
Although there is substantial literature in the English speaking world on different curricular and extra-curricular interventions, broadly defined, which may impact on a student's career learning, progression, and career decision-making, evidence related to the efficacy of these interventionsis limited.
Six themes were identified from the literature for which research reports were assessed:
- career related interventions
- curricular interventions to support
- vocational trajectories
- curricular related interventions
- extra-curricular interventions
- pre-entry curricular interventions
- multi-cultural curricular interventions

This is a Research Report, RR833, published by the Department of Education and Skills in the United Kingdom. The research was undertaken as part of a government review of advice, information and guidance services for adults. It specifically sought to evaluate a trial extension of Ufi/learndirect telephone guidance service for adults to handle a substantially larger volume of calls, and to test a three stage call back and action planning model of such provision. The research also examined issues such as the generation of demand for telephone guidance versus the capacity to meet such demand, the short-term positive outcomes achieved, and the cost-effectiveness of telephone guidance versus face to face guidance.
The results show high demand, less use of the three stage model, more positive outcomes related to action planning by users including user satisfaction, and similar costs for telephone guidance as per face to face interviews.
