Careers guidance for adult workbased learners: Why traditional support services are not sufficient

Abstract

The changing profile of higher education students and the importance of career services in enhancing student employability led to a review of higher education careers services carried out by the Department for Education and Employment (DfEE, 2001). This review highlighted the under use of career services by non-traditional students and the importance of developing models of information advice and guidance that meet the needs of these students.
