INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC POLICY – STRENGTHENING POLICIES FOR LEARNING, WORK, AND SOCIAL INCLUSION

INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC POLICY – STRENGTHENING POLICIES FOR LEARNING, WORK, AND SOCIAL INCLUSION
May 3, 2018 dmh

THE FIRST STEP
The Centre was established in 2004 to promote policy sharing and learning internationally through making international knowledge and expertise available to policy makers, researchers and career development professionals. The OECD, the World Bank, the European Commission, international professional associations such as IAEVG, and officials of several individual countries, recognised from international policy reviews that links between policies for education, training, employment and social inclusion and career guidance services needed to be strengthened in many countries and regions worldwide. These international organisations supported the establishment of the Centre as a focal point to share good examples of national strategies, legislation, policies and policy evaluations.

A wide range of latest articles and details of the Symposium Series are openly available. Visit: http://iccdpp.org/
