Abstract

Aims of workshop 1. To outline theoretical ideas that have been useful in the development of a Decent Work informed approach to career learning, i.e., ‘Psychology of Working theory’ and ‘Career guidance for social justice’. 2. To share findings from recent research about young people in precarious work which highlight questions about developing critical consciousness in careers practice. 3. To share insights about a current project with the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter team to develop a resource entitled: ‘What students and graduates need to know about Good Work’. 4. To introduce a practitioner teaching resource that has been created to use alongside the student/graduate publication mentioned in point 3.
