Drawing on experiences from developing the initial methodology, delivering the OFS funded 3 year National learning gain project and supporting colleagues implementing Careers Registration in the UK and in other countries, Bob Gilworth addresses some of the key changes and challenges for HE Careers and Employability, and considers ‘where next’ for Careers registration. Keynotes 2: Informing the career readiness culture at SOAS: Careers Registration data as an enabler of change SOAS was one of the original partners in the HEFCE bid, so has been developing Careers Registration since 2015. As a small institution with short feedback loops, they have been able to act fast on feedback from colleagues and students and develop ideas to ensure career thinking becomes part of the institution's culture. Philippa Hewett, Head of Careers, SOAS, University of London talks about why we have used the Careers Registration in the way we have within SOAS and team members will share mini case studies about initiatives, which have helped to ensure Careers Registration becomes a widely recognised and useful tool for offering differentiated support to students. There has been some debate about whether Careers Registration supports a deficit model of operation, and we hope to show that in fact it is the opposite of that, because it meets students' identified needs rather than the ones we assume they might have. Dr Kathy Williams, Senior Careers Consultant, describes the rationale behind the Career Thinking workshop series and shares some quantitative and qualitative feedback data from an iteration of the module, demonstrating the potential impact of interventions like this. David Gilchrist, Careers Consultant, shares some of the ways we have utilised Careers Registration and created activities featuring the stages of career thinking, which have helped to shape the discourse in SOAS. Anesa Rahman, Careers Intern and SOAS alumna, shares the WP Finalists' calling project she carried out in the summer of 2019, and shares how this has informed our support for this important group of students.
