About Career Advice Australia
Career Advice Australia is an Australia Government initiative that works closely with existing career and transition programmes to provide a national career development and transition support system for all young Australians aged 13 to 19 years.
The Career Advice Australia initiative focuses on encouraging industry to be actively involved in shaping their future workforce by leading the way in young people’s career development, guidance and training.
The Australian Government has created a national Career Advice Australia network which works with industry and business at a local, regional and national level to ensure that current day career development is meeting the needs of both young people and their future employees.
This has been initiated through the nationwide expansion of Local Community Partnerships, and the creation of national networks of Regional Industry Career Advisers and National Industry Career Specialists.
