HTMLEnhancing career development: the role of community-based career guidance for disengaged adults

27 September 2005Francesca Beddie, Barb Lorey and Barbara Pamphilon investigate learning and career development services for adults, particularly those who are in some way disengaged from the labour market or educational systems.
