where some of the most pressing issues in its history are
taking critical shape - see if you agree
Careers
work can be developed in different directions. All careers workers
give high priority to the well-being of individual learners.

work - a policy question. It answers the question why
is careers work such a good idea?.
This is a pilot version of the game. Nonetheless, thinking about the
issues it raises will enable you to map the future direction
of your work.
