National Careers Week 2021: Wrap
Last week was National Careers Week 2021, and this year we proudly partnered with the Career Industry Council of Australia to bring this event to Australia.
What is National Career Week?
National Careers Week is an initiative of the Career Industry Council of Australia and aims to celebrate careers, career development, career development services, and career development practitioners.
It also promotes the economic, social and personal benefits of career development for all Australians.
Who is the Career Industry Council of Australia?
Going by the acronym of CICA, they are the National Peak Body representing the broad range of organisations and associations involved in providing career development services and programs throughout Australia. It is the only industry body concerned specifically with work and learning transitions.
COHOES, N.Y. â Cohoes elementary schools celebrated National Career Week (Mar. 1-5) by hosting virtual presentations from professionals in a wide variety of careers.
The opportunity was offered in partnership with Junior Achievement of Northeastern New York, an organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices.
âWe hope that our students will expand their horizons in terms of what they want to be when they grow up,â Abram Lansing Principal Cliff Bird said.
