Tell us your 'story' - of how you have developed since starting work - whether doing the same work or moving through a series of jobs?

IER is part of a team of researchers from eleven European countries, researching how people’s careers are changing across Europe, and initial results show some very interesting patterns, so we are interested in your story too.  The results of the study are feeding into a European review of how best to support individual learning and career development. 

As part of the Festival of Social Sciences Alan has started a blog.  He will be blogging about his research on changing occupational identities, continuing vocational training and skill formation.

We are organising a display of IER research in B0.45 (IER library) today, 12.00-2.00pm.  Everyone is welcome.  Researchers will be available to answer questions and recent publications from IER will be freely available.  It is a great opportunity to come and find out more about how we contribute to policy and practice in different fields.

Dr Heike Behle and Dr Clare Lyonnette, Research Fellows at IER, are for the Festival of Social Sciences.

As part of the Festival of Social Sciences, of IER will be presenting a paper as part of a one day seminar on the theme of Financial Capability Education, Recession and the Credit Crunch held on 16 June.  The purpose of the seminar is to bring together practitioners, policy makers and academics to review the purpose and practice of financial capability education in the light of recent economic developments.  Financial capability education forms a strand within both the primary and secondary curriculum in England.  It aims to develop both an understanding of financial matters and a capacity for successful decision making, in particular with respect to personal financial matters.  The seminar includes high level contributions from the Financial Services Authority (FSA), pfeg, University of 桃色视频, QCA, and Ofsted.  Michael’s presentation is on the theme of ‘The experience of debt in poor households - worry, well-being and advice’ drawing on his work which links debt with issues around worklessness and low paid employment, as part of the IER research theme of Work, Welfare and Public Policy.
