Innovation
Innovation is integral to our work - from creating resources such as icould, our online archive of 1000 career stories told on film, to identifying good practice in the field and providing creative forums for its development and dissemination.
Developed independently, with partners or on behalf of clients, we have created tools and programmes for specific target groups including:
careers practitioners - teachers, heads of year and senior managers in schools and colleges
- students in schools and colleges
- undergraduate students
- postgraduate researchers
- graduate trainees
- experienced managers.
Vitae innovate aims to promote innovative approaches and projects in the field of the personal, professional and career development of researchers. It includes a funding stream to support innovative projects. In the 2009 round, funding of up to a total of £100,000 was allocated.
CRAC is also experienced in devising and conducting original research to support the development of government policy-making and industry thinking. Such work covers practical elements, including research around the career aspirations of young people and the potential impact on industry sectors; evaluation projects to measure the impact and success of new initiatives and more theoretical research around emerging career development thinking.
Annually, we produce a number of professional events and conferences for practitioners in many fields, including careers advisers, HR managers, corporate social responsibility managers and policy makers.
