LAST CHANCE TO HAVE YOUR SAY! The Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA) is committed to supporting excellence in career development practices and promoting evidence-based frameworks that enhance career outcomes for all citizens. Last year, we introduced the Blueprint Online Orientation and in-person masterclass sessions, providing practical tools and strategies for integrating the updated Australian Blueprint for Career Development into your work. Now, we’d like to hear about your experience. We’ve created a short survey (just 2 minutes) to understand: How is the Blueprint being used in your practice? Its effectiveness in supporting career development needs. Opportunities to enhance its value through additional training or resources. Your insights will help us improve future initiatives and inform the National Careers Institute about the Blueprint’s real-world impact. The survey closes on Friday, so don’t miss your chance to shape the future of career development. https://ow.ly/bQqU50Urt25
