Popis: The 2007 study by NICEC for CEDEFOP, Career Development at work – a review of career guidance to support people in employment, reported few examples of provision particularly targeted at employed people over the age of 50, although many services that are expressly for senior management, and many others offering outplacement advice, do see and help people in that age group. Other national and European studies (DfES, 2003 as an example of the former; Clayton et al., 2007 of the latter) suggest there are good services specially dedicated to unemployed older people. But older adults in the context of unemployment are regarded as a group with particular problems. The idea that people over 50 in employment might have rather different, but perfectly normal, needs in making plans about training and career progression, or making changes to have a more fulfilling balance between paid and unpaid work, has not been addressed until recently.
