📢 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.
