Career Development in Practice Victorian Government Schools
The Career Development in Practice (CDIP) workshop is designed to equip participants with the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to develop and deliver effective career services within a variety of educational settings.

In the 2-day workshop, we’ll explore:
- Development and delivery of career services in schools

- A day in the life of a career practitioner
- Role and responsibilities of career practitioners including ethical practice
