Did you know that over 60% of sixth form students prioritise understanding post-graduation salaries when choosing their educational path? This plays a pivotal role in shaping their decisions about which path to pursue after sixth form. Our research shows that many students still lack access to this information to make informed decisions. It’s important to provide access to the resources students need so they can plan their careers with confidence and clarity.

The Centre for Policy Development is currently recruiting for a range of roles across the Early Childhood Development Initiative, Sustainable Economy Program and Communications team. We acknowledge that at present, the organisation does not reflect all dimensions of diversity across the population that informs and is impacted by our work - we are working to address this. For current job vacancies, we will be taking steps to de-identify your application during the initial assessment process to reduce bias in relation to age, race, gender, country of origin and educational background (and are carefully considering how we approach “merit”). Personally, I have found CPD to be a genuinely flexible workplace, and have appreciated the opportunity to grow into my role while contributing to meaningful systems reform. I am happy to share what it’s like to work with CPD and answer questions by message, in particular if you are: - a person of colour and/or migrant; or - considering a transition from academic research to policy development. To clarify, I am not part of the above teams and won’t disclose details of our chat to anyone involved in the hiring process. If you are seeking clarifying details on specific roles, please reach out to the listed contact in the job post or description.

Published today: Teenage career development in England: a review of PISA 2022 data https://lnkd.in/ecGw5fGE Abstract: This paper explores the state of teenage career development in England. It sets out findings from the 2022 round of the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a comparative international survey of young people in secondary education. PISA 2022 provides considerable data related to young people’s engagement in, and perceptions of, career development, including information on occupational and educational intentions and participation in career development activities. This paper compares student responses in England to OECD averages, disaggregated by a range of student characteristics, including gender, socio-economic background, academic proficiency and school type attended. This comprehensive analysis finds that in many ways student career development in England compares well with many other OECD countries, particularly countries identified as providing most relevant comparisons. However, analysis of longitudinal cohort studies show that students in England and across the OECD fail to engage sufficiently in career development by the age of 15. In England, students from lower socio-economic backgrounds engage less consistently in career development than their more socially advantaged peers. As in many countries, low performing students in England demonstrate forms of career development that raise particular concerns. The career expectations of all students align poorly with patterns of labour market demand.

Interesting to read that as graduate numbers outpace high-end employment opportunities, they are increasingly having to take up lower-paid employment, working in occupations in which they are overqualified and that this is 'bumping down’ adults with lower levels of formal education out of the labour market who in the past might have filled these roles. #graduatejobs #labourmarket #employment #recruitment https://lnkd.in/efna7t8i
