National Careers Week – 13 to 19 May 2024
National Careers Week (NCW) is an initiative of the Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA) to celebrate careers, career development, career development services, and career development practitioners and to promote the economic, social and personal benefits of career development.

It includes gaining and using the skills and knowledge needed to plan and make informed decisions about education, training, and work. Everyday decisions and priorities affect career development. Ultimately, career development is about much more than jobs – it is about how to live your life. As part of NCW in 2024, CICA have provided a range of information sheets on vital areas of career development, with two of particular interest listed below.
