Total Professions Launch New Website
13-05-10 11:51 BIFM
TotalProfessions.com is a new website to inspire entry to a professional career. It features information from over 270 professional bodies, including the BIFM, and encourages fair access to the professions. TotalProfessions.com is aimed at young people, career switchers and those returning to work, signposting them to the many routes into the professions and the diversity of roles available.
In response to the Milburn Panel’s recommendation for a "professions.com", professional bodies have collaborated in the launch of TotalProfessions.com, a portal that provides a "one-stop-shop" for the professions. The creation of a website specifically dedicated to the professions and the unique access to information that professional bodies can provide is a key step towards raising aspirations and meeting this key recommendation.
TotalProfessions.com builds on the initiatives many professional bodies have already undertaken to encourage fair access, and presents the professions from the unique perspective of professional bodies.
TotalProfessions.com is a resource that will encourage access into the professions by raising awareness of the variety of professions that exist and enabling young people and career switchers to identify the various routes into the professions. It aims to encourage people from every background to aspire to be a professional, and provides them with the resources necessary to realise their potential.
Louis Armstrong, Chief Executive of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, says, "Anything which helps to demystify the professions and provide a one-stop-shop for the widest possible range of new talent must be a good thing – I warmly welcome this initiative."
TotalProfessions.com is a joint venture between Ashridge Communications and the Professional Associations Research Network (PARN). For more information on these organisations, visit www.ashridgecommunications.com and www.parnglobal.com.
