The CDPG brings together a range of organisations who believe that it is essential that citizens have an opportunity to access support in their careers. The group works with the Government and other stakeholders to develop policies and initiatives that support career development.
The CDPG has developed the Career Guidance Guarantee, our call for enhanced career guidance for all young people and adults.
The CDPG launched the Career Guidance Guarantee in 2021 to over 400 career development colleagues. The CDPG also hosted roundtables with careers professionals, employers and politicians to discuss the benefits and application of the Guarantee. The CDPG website has all the latest information on the Career Guidance Guarantee.

The recommendations aim to inform the UK Government's development of career development policies and support economic growth.
