The UK's National Careers Service (NCS) is offering a ten-hour online course in tarot card reading, aimed at helping job seekers explore alternative career paths. The course covers the history of tarot, the meanings of cards in the Suit of Cups, and how to select appropriate spreads for personal concerns. Despite its intention to provide comfort and skills, the initiative has drawn criticism from Members of Parliament (MPs) who question its practicality for job seekers. Reform MP Lee Anderson labeled the course as 'nonsense,' questioning its value in preparing individuals for the job market. Tory MP Joy Morrissey echoed these sentiments, expressing doubt about the appropriateness of such courses for aiding employment. The NCS, established in 2012, aims to provide free career advice to those aged 13 and older, while the Shaw Trust, a provider for the NCS, insists on aligning training with genuine job opportunities. The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) clarified that providers are compensated only upon the completion of recognized qualifications.
