Business panel: New tech on way for job seekers

Susie Crowder, managing director, Bright Futures, replies:

‘BRIGHT FUTURES LBG has a new working partnership with EdEase and Quintillion to improve the lifelong careers provision in Guernsey.

‘Our key relationship with EdEase and Quintillion is sure to improve currently available careers advice.

‘Ultimately, it will help people develop their skills to increase their chances of finding new employment.

‘It’s an exciting development for those seeking to enter the job market and for those looking to change career. Getting the right careers advice can help to shape a successful career without regrets.

‘The days of a career for life are behind us, because people are changing jobs throughout their working life – which itself is becoming longer.

‘The ethos behind the new partnership is to help people find out more about the workplace through interactive videos, feedback from professionals and help with interview techniques. The focus of careers advice encompasses so much more than simple exam results. The technologies that the two companies have developed embrace using all the skills a person has to find the right job.

‘Bright Futures LBG is planning to launch the technology through education. Guernsey students will be at the forefront of a technical revolution in careers advice.’

The Bright Futures CI Human Capital Summit: The Future of Work event is at St James on 14 March 2019. Andrew Clements, CEO of EdEase, and Jonathan Watmough, CEO of Quintillion, are two of the guest speakers. The companies are also exhibiting at the event. Tickets available at Eventbrite.
