| Annotation | The Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) has announced the formation of a new adult advancement and careers service. Information, advice and guidance across a range of interconnected issues will become a possibility for all, whether in work or outside the workforce. This document is the first in TAEN's Agenda series of policy arguments around age and employment. It explains TAEN's Ten Point Manifesto of necessary actions to ensure that career advice services meet older workers' needs, namely: information; advice and guidance; job search; staffing; ICT skills; a comprehensive referral network; marketing and outreach; advocacy; workplace guidance; and monitoring and tracking. It comments that an all-age service will only work if there is a conscious, focused and public effort to demonstrate that it is relevant to the rather different circumstances of young people and adults in mid and later life.
