National Careers Week 2023
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. Career development is a process of managing learning, work and leisure to progress through life. 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. To find out more about Career Development and how parents/carers play an important role in their child’s career choices, visit the below links to information sheets provided by CICA as part of NCW 2023. Parents/carers are also encouraged to check out these NCW on-demand webinars.

Managing career uncertainty and anxiety: the power of career conversations – a webinar for parents and carers
Wednesday 7 June at 5.30pm
Career uncertainty has been defined as the inability, as a teenager, to articulate a career ambition or occupational expectation for adult life. As transitions from school to further education, training or work have become more unpredictable, and employment markets more competitive and fluid, career uncertainty in young people, both in Australia and internationally, is increasingly common. In this webinar, Dr Jo Gleeson (Monash University), lead author of the forthcoming myfuture Insights Paper ‘Managing career uncertainty and anxiety: the power of career conversations’, will talk about the findings of her research in this area, and share a questionnaire that can help you to facilitate career conversations with your child.
