In this presentation, which I gave to the Career Development Institute‘s East of England group in February 2021, I talk about how career guidance can contribute to social mobility. I then go on to talk about some of the problems with social mobility as a concept and suggest that we might want to move beyond this idea towards a broader idea of social justice.
I’m posting the full presentation as well as the questions that I answered here as a YouTube video.
If you want to adapt and reuse the slides that I put together for this presentation, you are also welcome to do that.
Thank you to Emma Le Blanc for hosting the meeting and inviting me to talk about social justice.
