2. To develop participation in CEIAG quality awards for Work-Based Learning Providers
3. To provide synergy of CEIAG quality award provision with the system for the National Careers Service

How does it address 21st century learning needs?
A good CEIAG programme will:• Raises awareness of the labour market – local,
national and international• Promote equality of opportunity and
challenge stereotypes• Prepare students to manage transitions – 10
14 jobs by 38 – no such things as a career for life
• Equip them with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to apply, enter and progress in employment

Do you have any evidence of impact?
• No national evidence as yet
• Local NEET figures are significantly better for schools holding a CEIAG quality award, compared to those who don’t
• “There is clear systematic evidence that school pupils with career goals have higher attainment levels than those without”
Exec summary 2004 report, Career goals and educational Attainment Careers Scotland.

How transferable is this to other settings?
• Completely – it can be adapted to meet the needs of CEIAG within a province or nationally
