Careers Information and Publications Committee
The main remit of the Information and Publications Committee is to collaborate with our publishing partners, GroupGTI, in updating and developing the range of Career Sector Guides. The committee works out a programme of writing new titles, reviewing and redrafting old ones and ensuring that they are current and up-to-date in the information and advice they present. The Committee relies on the help and support of AGCSI members in forwarding this work. The committee also seeks to develop, in line with the strategic objectives of GCI, new and innovative ways of presenting careers information and is currently turning its attention to developing a Virtual Careers Library on the Gradireland website.
