The National Skills Strategy 2025 and the Action Plan for Education 2016-2019, provides for a Career Guidance Review that would include recommendations on changes to improve the existing career guidance tools and career information for post-primary/further education/higher education students and adults, currently in place across the education and training system in Ireland. The independent review which began earlier this year will be completed shortly and I look forward to seeing the findings and recommendations in the final report on the review.
