| One in 10 young people claimed to have had no career advice during their education. Around two thirds have not decided on a career by the time they leave school, says the YouGov poll for recruitment consultancy, Harvey Nash. Most rely on friends but many are turning to the Internet for advice instead and the careers service needs to embrace this, say experts. The knock-on effect of confusing and unhelpful careers advice is that young people are not making the best use of their skills and the industry is losing out on the most talented candidates. Harvey Nash chief Albert Ellis said:" Without direction and advice, not only are young people missing out on potential career opportunities themselves, but businesses too could be missing out on the next generation of skills they need to compete." |
