Welcometo
Are you careering through the web well?
ANSBURY FUTURE PATHWAYS CONFERENCE
Aims of workshop:
• Capture a sense of what is happening within web/social media careers landscape
• Consider sites and resources that can help us manage the digital revolution better
• Sample sites and services that we should cautiously observe, trust and even celebrate!
...but first, what is your own
experience of accessing and utilising
web-based information in your careers work?
Unprecedented times!
World of Careers in 2014.... it not life as we know it Jim”
Google rules OK ...Increasing influence of Social media to meet all our information needs... hat next?
and extraordinary impact of new technologies
Increasing expectation that Social media will meet all our information needs?!
Nominet Trust study... On the periphery?Exploded the myth that all young people are frequent and confident users of the Internet.
Significant minority of young people who are not
able to navigate or connect properly with the
online world; outside the digital mainstream. 10%
of young people (aged 17–23) define themselves as
lapsed Internet users.
Face to face contact with people they knew and trusted was the most
important information source!
“... in a world of apparent connection through social networking, there is a
famine of real listening.”
“Well informed and professionally
mediated careers, learning and training
information has never been more important!”
Where do we start?
