National Careers Week runs during Week 12 from 15 - 21 May. It is a time to celebrate careers, career development, career development services, and career development practitioners.
Throughout the week ECU will be holding a series of special events and highlighting resources for developing your career skills.
Creating an Inclusive and Accessible Career
Around 4.4 million Australians identify as having a disability, and of those 2.1 million are of working age with nearly half a million actively seeking work.
Yet Australia ranks 21 out of 29 on disability employment rates among OECD, creating a challenge for many people seeking employment.
