How do we balance the need for specialised knowledge with the demand for generic skills? What does "reflective practice" look like in a world increasingly shaped by Artificial Intelligence? These are just some of the questions we will be tackling at our next NICEC Network Meeting. The session focuses on the evolving landscape of initial and continuing professional development (CPD) for careers practitioners. As the field faces new policy pressures and technological shifts, we will explore the tensions and opportunities within current training pathways and discuss the relative weight given to working with individuals versus influencing the wider systems around them.

In this one-and-a-half hour session Michelle Stewart set the scene drawing from her experience of writing the 'History of the Careers Services in the UK'. This was followed by David Morgan, Chief Executive of the CDI with thoughts on innovation and CDI’s new strategy, and an overview of innovations in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Nikki Lawrence, Chief Executive of Careers Wales, then shared examples of innovative practices and projects taking place in career guidance in Wales including Work in Focus challenges, Future Jobs Wales, uses of AI to help triage needs and to support practitioners, virtual reality tours of careers centres for neurodivergent customers, and the award-winning Careers Craft. Our speakers provided reflections and insights, and it was also a chance to discuss how we can share and learn from such innovative practice across the UK.

Social class often remains overlooked in discussions and interventions aimed at improving diversity, equality and inclusion. Despite shaping lives and opportunities in profound ways social class remains hard to define, measure and discuss for both individuals and organisations. We know that social class shapes individual’s career decisions and outcomes in several ways, whether through influencing ideas around what is possible or desirable, shaping access to social and cultural capital that make some careers easier to pursue than others, or setting hard financial limits on available career pathways. Career services have a key role to play in levelling this playing field and providing equal access to career knowledge, opportunities and aspirations regardless of background. In this NICEC workshop researchers from the Institute for Employment Studies Dr Kyla Ellis and Kate Alexander will share findings from research exploring the role of social class in career decision making, using the construction sector as a case study. Drawing on a review of the literature and qualitative interviews with expert stakeholders, and new and prospective construction workers they will present findings on how social class can act as a ‘ramp or barrier’ to certain careers, and how career services and employers can support people from a variety of backgrounds to find and enter fulfilling careers. The workshop will be interactive, giving practitioners the opportunity to reflect on the research and share their own knowledge and experience of social class and career advice and guidance.

This issue could not be more relevant or timely, arriving amid global events—such as the rolling back of progressive programmes in the US—that directly impact hard-fought freedoms and equity. We adopt the expanded framing of JEDI to foreground the structural and systemic dimensions of inequality that traditional EDI approaches often miss. This collection insists that to speak of careers without confronting power is to risk reinforcing the very inequities we seek to challenge. Issue 55 establishes career development as an inherently political practice concerned with human flourishing and collective wellbeing.
