The purpose of ODiCY is to gather and share how digital technologies can enhance the effectiveness, efficiency and/or equity with which career guidance is delivered. While use of technologies in many forms have grown over recent years, very little has been evaluated on the use and impact of technologies when delivering careers guidance to young people. ODiCY will allow users to compare how people in different countries are using new technologies in different ways, enabling developers and users to become more informed consumers of digital resources and supporting a more critical and strategic approach to their development. The focus is on provision aimed at young people under the age of 18 if your school is using digital technologies to support career guidance, please tell us about it by completing the attached form and send it to Juli.paurini@tec.govt.nz or contact Juli Paurini 04 474 5675 to find out more |
