 "A Practical Guide to Career Learning and Development is a welcome addition to the career education and guidance literature. It helps to refocus discussion on the actual practice that takes place in schools, regardless of the nature of the government and their careers policy. Where the book really offers something new is in its ability to translate recent theoretical discussion in the field into practical activities for the classroom. I hope that the book will be able to find an audience amongst those teachers and careers professionals who are currently struggling with how to best deliver career support in England’s new school-based system." – Tristram Hooley, British Journal of Guidance & Counselling
