In the UK, four career professional associations have formed a new Careers Development Institute (CDI). Their key message of ‘One Voice – Making an Impact’ aims to strengthen the UK careers profession, building upon recommendations from the Careers Profession Taskforce in England (2010). It is central to the mission of the CDI to raise the standard of all career development professionals and provide public assurance on the quality of career development activities and services across the UK. The CDI has established a National Register of Career Practitioners as part of a professional framework which guarantees that individuals are suitably qualified and operate to the highest standards. In England, this is supported by a new online Career Progression Framework. The CDI will engage employers and other stakeholders to promote the careers profession, and will eventually seek a Royal Charter from the Privy Council. In the four home nations within the UK, Government is being actively consulted to ensure that quality assurance, evidence-base systems and professional development arrangements are mutually supportive and coherent. In England, the Government has recognised the importance of the CDI’s work by signing up the National Careers Service to the CDI proposals.
