www.derby.ac.uk/icegs www.derby.ac.ukwww.derby.ac.uk/icegs In summaryCareer learning should be at the heart of schooling.There is a growing evidence base that demonstrates its effectiveness.The evidence base suggests that holistic, and school-wide approaches that are linked to the curriculum are the most effective.The evidence also highlights the importance of involving employers and other key stakeholders. How a school organises, manages and resources careers work is likely to be critical for its effectiveness. www.derby.ac.uk/icegs www.derby.ac.ukwww.derby.ac.uk/icegs
