The NICEC Journal has launched a Call for Papers for a special Autumn 2027 collection (Issue 59): Critical Perspectives on Careers from Early-Career Researchers. Find full details, submission guidance, and the proposal form here: nicecjournal.co.uk/index.php/nc...

This special issue will feature a special collection of research papers focusing on critical contributions from early-career researchers, guest-edited by young researchers André Borges, Oscar Gomez, Hanna Lonka, Taísa Oliveira, and Reihaneh Rahmatjou.

This upcoming issue encourages early-career researchers to publish their work on critical perspectives in career and career guidance research. Building on the COCAG Action (i.e., Critical Perspectives on Career and Career Guidance), critical research refers to contributions identifying, understanding, or challenging career theories, policies, and practices that create or maintain unfair power structures, inequalities, or social injustice.

Who can apply

The first author of each contribution should be an early-career researcher, which refers to a researcher who is currently completing master's-level or doctoral studies, or has recently completed these studies (i.e., less than five years).

Submission instructions

The editors welcome a broad range of submissions and are particularly interested in those that attempt to answer one or several of the questions proposed by the COCAG Action, which are:

How can the challenges and changes that are happening to careers in the contemporary world are being lived and understood?
How can policymakers respond to contemporary challenges to individuals’ careers, and what should a socially just perspective look like?
How can career guidance practice adopt a more responsive and critical stance to address the changing world?

At the Cutting Edge October 2026 Thriving not just surviving - fulfilment across the whole lifespan based on latest research and insights @thecdi.bsky.social www.nicec.org/articles/at-...

Philosophers have long asserted that fulfilment is something more than happiness or satisfaction and now vocational psychologists seem to agree. Whilst the empirical research into fulfilment (work and life) is still relatively new, there are fascinating and important insights emerging for individuals and the practitioners who work with them.

Several theorists assert that fulfilment is an ‘important and worthwhile aspiration for most people’, but there is also evidence that sustaining fulfilment may not be easy or equally available to all. What factors make the biggest difference? Does fulfilment shift through the lifespan? What tools and frameworks can you use to help yourself and others become more fulfilled?

In this session, we will share the very latest insights from doctoral research into fulfilment, work fulfilment and fulfilment through the lifespan. Specifically:

What fulfilment means – generally and through the lifespan
Why it matters to individuals, teams and organizations
Factors that predict the possibility of fulfilment
What can make work a fulfilling experience – six key themes
How fulfilment evolves beyond midlife (an area often underrepresented in career and lifespan research)
Practical implications will be discussed, including how practitioners can better support individuals navigating identity, purpose, and thriving across longer working lives.

The video and slides from our May 2026 Seminar Event: "Reflections on Careers - What have we learned from working on careers and career development?" are now available to all. 💻 You can find them on our event page: www.nicec.org/events/nicec... 💻

During 2025, 39 NICEC Fellows working in the UK were interviewed by Wendy Hirsh about what they have learned from their work on careers and supporting the career development of individuals. This project was born out of personal curiosity and Wendy felt free to conduct the work as she felt best with the proviso that participants and their data were treated ethically and with care and respect.

In this seminar, Wendy Hirsh, shared some of the themes emerging from these rich conversations with NICEC Fellows. While summarising key findings across identified themes, the seminar highlighted the vibrancy of the research by using verbatim quotes from a range of Fellows, who generously gave permission for their words to be used. Some Fellows kindly voiced their own words during the seminar.

We were delighted to gather online yesterday for the 2026 Bill Law Award! A massive congratulations to all seven of our fantastic finalists, who did a brilliant job condensing their research into engaging three-minute snapshots. www.nicec.org/articles/the...

A warm night in July 2026 saw the NICEC community come together to celebrate the finalists and winner of the annual Bill Law Award. Held in honour of NICEC Founding Fellow Dr Bill Law, the evening celebrated emerging talent and research that bridges the gap between theory and practice.

The event was hosted by Laura Walker, with opening words from NICEC Chair Pete Robertson and a keynote presentation from Dr Emma Bolger who passionately advocated for the value of careers practitioner led research. It was then onto the highlight of the evening; the rapid-fire presentation session, where our seven finalists took on the challenge of condensing their original research into a strict three-minute snapshot.

We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to all of this year's exceptional finalists

The Bill Law Award is open to students and recent graduates across a wide range of career development, coaching, and CIPD programmes (from Level 6 and Career Leader qualifications through to Masters and Doctoral studies). It recognises those who have undertaken high-quality, original, and evidence-based research within the last 12 months.

Rather than just announcing a winner, the online event on the 16th July 2026 will be a celebration of all our finalists. Ahead of the award announcement, each finalist will share a short, accessible insight into their project. It promises to be a diverse and genuinely engaging snapshot of the fresh ideas and new thinking entering our field.

Join the Celebration

Whether you want to support the next generation of researchers, discover new perspectives to inform your own practice, or simply connect with colleagues who care about the future of career development, you are most welcome to join us.

Attendance is completely free, and it is a wonderful opportunity to gather as a community.

A reminder that Issue 56 of the NICEC Journal was published last month and is open access to all. This themed edition explored how ethics, philosophies and principles (EPPs) impact policy and practice in career development work. Take a look 👀: nicecjournal.co.uk/index.php/nc...

This latest edition reflects on a foundational yet complex theme: Ethics, Philosophies, and Principles (EPPs). In this issue, our contributors explore how these core elements underpin everything we do—from the high-level design of policy to the day-to-day nuances of individual practice.

As our editor, Jane Artess, reflects in her opening editorial, the world of work is in a state of constant flux. The ethical "gold standards" we may have trained with are frequently challenged by the realities of the modern world.

Whether it is navigating the "Copilot era" of AI, addressing the climate crisis through impartial guidance, or acting as advocates for social justice, the principles we hold are not static.

We're all set for next week - are you? NICEC Seminar: Reflections on Careers What have we learned from working on careers and career development? 📅 19th May 2026 5pm GMT Online 📅 Last places: www.nicec.org/events/nicec...

During 2025, 39 NICEC Fellows working in the UK were interviewed about what had they learned from their work on careers and supporting the career development of individuals. The work experience of these contributors totals many hundreds of years and has spanned different client age groups; different types of career-related work including research, policy, and practice; in different contexts including educational and research institutions, employers, government bodies, and private practice.

Contributors were each asked for two or three key learning points from their work in the careers field and to identify one or two issues they found themselves repeatedly wondering about or puzzling over.

In this seminar, Wendy Hirsh, will share some of the themes emerging from these rich conversations with NICEC Fellows. Those attending will be encouraged to reflect on and share their own learning about careers and career development.

Social class often remains overlooked in discussions and interventions aimed at improving diversity, equality and inclusion. Despite shaping lives and opportunities in profound ways, social class remains hard to define, measure and discuss for both individuals and organisations. We know that social class shapes individual’s career decisions and outcomes in several ways, whether through influencing ideas around what is possible or desirable, shaping access to social and cultural capital that make some careers easier to pursue than others, or setting hard financial limits on available career pathways. Career services have a key role to play in levelling this playing field and providing equal access to career knowledge, opportunities and aspirations regardless of background.

📢 Final call for entries! 📢 Just over a week to go to submit your entry to the 2026 Bill Law Memorial Student Award. How to enter: You do not need to submit a full paper yet—just a 250-word abstract outlining your research or practice. Read the full criteria: www.nicec.org/pages/bill-l...

The Bill Law Memorial Award is for any student who has completed an academic programme within the last 12 months that involved a piece of research or innovative practice related to career development. This could include anyone studying for a level 6 level in career development (including career leaders), a PGDip/Masters/SCQF 11, a PhD or a CIPD programme.

You do not need to be a member of NICEC.

What we look for
The submission should present original research or innovative practice in a career related topic.

Where the submission relates to innovative practice, this needs to include some element of evaluation, including feedback, comments or assessments from participants. Innovative practice could include using new techniques or using existing techniques in a new way or with a new client group. This could also include expanding the boundaries of current practice. Original research can include quantitative or qualitative empirical research.

The judges are NICEC Fellows and the articles will be judged on the following criteria:

Consideration of a contemporary theme within the career development field.
Demonstrates original empirical research or innovative practice.
Discussion of relevant literature.
Evidence of critical evaluation and analysis.
Commentary on any implications for professional practice, policy or research.

How do we balance the need for specialised knowledge with the demand for generic skills? What does "reflective practice" look like in a world increasingly shaped by Artificial Intelligence? These are just some of the questions we will be tackling at our next NICEC Network Meeting.

The session focuses on the evolving landscape of initial and continuing professional development (CPD) for careers practitioners. As the field faces new policy pressures and technological shifts, we will explore the tensions and opportunities within current training pathways and discuss the relative weight given to working with individuals versus influencing the wider systems around them.

NICEC Journal Issue 55 Launches Essential Collection on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion As a free, open-access publication, the full text of Issue 55 is available immediately www.nicecjournal.co.uk/index.php/nc

This issue could not be more relevant or timely, arriving amid global events—such as the rolling back of progressive programmes in the US—that directly impact hard-fought freedoms and equity. We adopt the expanded framing of JEDI to foreground the structural and systemic dimensions of inequality that traditional EDI approaches often miss. This collection insists that to speak of careers without confronting power is to risk reinforcing the very inequities we seek to challenge. Issue 55 establishes career development as an inherently political practice concerned with human flourishing and collective wellbeing.
