NEARLY 30 more people have qualified to give careers advice for the two counties Learning and Skills Council's NextStep Programme.

Twenty-one of them achieved either an NVQ Level 3 or Open College Network qualification in Advice and Guidance. They will now be licensed to help people decide what to do next in their career.

"Nextstep is an invaluable service for adults across Herefordshire and Worcestershire, providing impartial and confidential advice on learning and training," said Chris Jones, Nextstep network manager.
