Professional training in the careers service
Abstract
Professional training within the careers service has, in the past, followed a broadly similar pattern to the training undertaken by many other professions: a full‐time academic course completed at an educational establishment, entry to which requires a degree or equivalent, followed by a year of probationary training. While there is no mandatory qualification for careers officers, nearly 80 per cent of them do hold the Diploma in Careers Guidance or its equivalent. This qualification is awarded by the Local Government Training Board (LGTB) on behalf of its Careers Service Training Council (CSTC). Members of the CSTC represent the careers service itself, and local and central government.
