Unlocking Self-Awareness and Unleashing Superpowers

Putting self-awareness at the heart of careers guidance

The policy position for careers education and guidance in England is arguably at its strongest since schools and colleges were given responsibility in 2012. Funding and time remain significant barriers, but the ambition is clear to see.

The Gatsby Foundation's Good Career Guidance – Ten Years On report highlights the importance of understanding ourselves alongside the world around us when making career choices.

Yet careers education and guidance is still largely associated with work, jobs and plans.

At a time when close to one million young people are not in education, employment or training, this conference places the individual front and centre.

Our speakers will explore recent career-related research, policy and practice, focusing on what careers leaders and practitioners can do to help young people unlock self-awareness and discover their own superpowers.
