Jackie Hartley’s BLOG

Been doing quite a bit of training recently around the area of ‘What is careers education and guidance?’ I love doing this training - especially when the audience are people relatively new to the careers work area. It feels like I get a real opportunity to share with them some real insight into what CEG work is. I hate to say it but I think there are a lot of people out there, doing careers work, who don’t really understand what it is. This training opens their eyes and when that happens it is almost like you see the penny drop or the lights come on. I get a huge buzz from it. Which makes me realise that I am still passionate about this area of work - just jaded with the policy mess that washes all around it. Hopefully, when things settle down again we can get back to what we love, which is doing really good careers work.
