International Centre for Career Development and Public Policy

The newly established ICDP (Director John McCarthy) which is intended as a resource for policy developers and researchers, in association with social partners and guidance practitioners, to improve career development systems that support lifelong learning and workforce development goals has published its first newsletter. This first issue gives a brief overview of the ICDP's services and future directions, of upcoming international events, and of recent publications of policy relevance. It also explains how the ICDP can assist countries and how countries can participate in international policy development work co-ordinated by the Centre.
