“When asked about how they would like to receive advice, guidance and careers support, 72% [of students] said they preferred to talk to someone face to face about it, 12% to receive online support and 6% to talk to someone over the phone.” November 2008 CFE report: Contribution of Face-to-Face Advice and Guidance vs Access to Information
