Careers guidance should be at the heart of school education, not an afterthought. Career management is not just something that those in danger of slipping into unemployment need to be good at - all young people are presented with a host of difficult decisions. What subjects to choose? College, industrial training or work? Which university will be best? Stay at home or live away? All of these choices have huge implications and young people are likely to need help to navigate them.
