7. Moments of Choice
2016

8. Objective of MoC
To ensure young people make the best use of education and training destination data to inform choice, what should government do…
…this year?
…in future years?
Key questions to answer
How do learners make choices? What information services are of most use to them, particularly at key “moments of choice”?
Of these services:
Can DD help provide the information needed? (i.e. without additional data collection)
Are there information providers who might provide the service?(what conditions would need to be in place for this to happen?)
What needs to be done with DD to ensure learners get the most out of it? 1 2 3 4

11. What does it mean for us? Encounters, Information and a Plan
Supports the case for more encounters to inspire and give a sense of what is possible
Argues that we need to address the information issue also
Simply the information landscape
Support targeted messaging around what matters most
We have consulted with the sector on how we might do that proposing public information campaigns through the network and through schools addressing key questions:
How can I understand and develop my employability skills?
What is the value of different qualifications?
Responses to the consultation have asked us to go further and look at how integration of encounters, information and a plan can be better supported in schools
