Mr. Andrew Brownlee:

I can flag some work. The Department of Education, very much working with the Department of further and higher education, has reviewed the whole approach to guidance and there is now a cradle-to-grave guidance framework plan, given the problem is it has been fragmented. Guidance counsellors in schools have to be trained teachers, so they all come from a certain perspective and background. In further education and training, such as in a PLC college, it is kind of the same deal, but in our other services, there are professional adult guidance personnel, who come from a different background. After that, there could be a careers-type portal to help guide people, because the days of doing a block of education from the ages of 18 to 21 are gone. We are all going to have to upskill and reskill throughout our lives and careers and we need a proper guidance system to accommodate that. At the moment, there are the guidance systems for school, FET and HE but for adults, who knows? That is what we have to focus on.
