Fuelling Potential
In August 2010 the Adult Advancement and Careers Service (AACS) will be launched in England. It will supersede the current Careers Advice Service telephone service (formerly learndirect advice) and local nextstep face to face services, by creating a single, national service available online, by telephone, or face to face.
It will provide access to better information about the labour market and new tools to help adults plan their career development; a new professional development framework for careers advisers; and a new brand to raise the service’s appeal to the public.
The vision for this service is to enable millions of individuals to enjoy more rewarding lives, improving society as a whole and in turn increasing productivity and boosting the economy.
