Introduction
INTRODUCTION TO THE RESOURCE BANK
Welcome to this second edition of the Resource Bank which can be used by all staff working with 11-19 young people in North East Lincolnshire. All these resources will be available on www.lincs2.co.uk - our area wide prospectus. This now includes a pdf version of i4u, an excellent work book for year 11 learners.
We are still striving to ensure all young people will be prepared to make well informed choices about their learning options which will lead to successful and sustainable employment. We also continue to ensure that all learning providers will “contribute to the provision of, and ensure access to, high quality impartial careers information, advice and guidance.” – North East Lincolnshire 14-19 Strategy for Learning
There is an ongoing review by the new Government of the statutory legislation regarding Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance and there may be changes in options available for young people. These resources have been compiled under current legislation. Please check with www.dfe.gov.uk for the latest information and national publications.
North and North-East Lincolnshire have identified priorities in the Learning and Skills Plan and this is available on www.11-19stuff.co.uk
In this edition we will be referring to resources from Blueprint. Blueprint is a competence approach to career learning developed in Canada and Australia which is now being trialled in Scotland. The Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) has produced a guide to Blueprint www.lsis.org.uk (click Services the Publications and look for 'Career Learning for the 21st Century') or look at www.blueprint.edu.au
