Career Development in Practice Victorian Government Schools

The Victorian Department of Education are funding a series of 2-day CDIP workshops aimed at supporting:

• new or recently recruited career practitioners in government schools who have limited experience in delivering career education (2 years or less experience as a career practitioner). Includes staff who have not completed a formal career education qualification.

• other government school staff who are directly supporting the delivery of career education activities to students (for example, Multicultural Education Aides).

• Development and delivery of career services in schools
• Understanding and using career education frameworks
• Development of career education curriculum as a whole school approach
• A day in the life of a career practitioner
• Role and responsibilities of career practitioners including ethical practice

• Sourcing labour market data and using it effectively to support students, teachers, and parents
• System knowledge and initiatives – education, training, and employment understanding how systems are integrated.
