Enabling learners to link their skill development and ambitions to career choices.

Serco Learning is pleased to announce a partnership to enable integration of CASCAiD’s popular resources Kudos, Launchpad and Careerscape into Serco ePortfolio. CASCAiD is the UK’s leading producer of online careers guidance and information tools.

“We are delighted to be developing a close partnership with CASCAiD and believe that together we can help to raise aspirations and skills of learners.

CASCAiD Chief Executive Andrew Whiteley added, “This new partnership offers schools a centralised online resource where students can explore their future options and plan their education, training and employment journey. We believe that by allowing students to access careers guidance tools from within Serco ePortfolio, they will recognise the importance of developing the skills and knowledge to help them plan their next steps and record their aspirations alongside other work and achievements.” As part of Loughborough University, CASCAiD is committed to proving innovative solutions which deliver high quality support to educational institutions and our partnership with Serco is integral to this.
