Best practice workshops

Careers information –
Making the most of your budget 

7th October 2010

 A half day workshop run in partnership with Engineering UK and the Centre for Science Education led STEM Subject Choice and Careers project. The workshop discussed the results of work looking at best practice in producing careers information and ways to utilize other careers projects to maximize the reach of your information and materials. Through these discussions and highlighting examples of best practice we hope to assist organisations in deciding how to priortise the information they produce and make the most efficient use of their budget or resources.
