ACA x National Careers Week 2021

What is National Careers Week?

Through National Careers Week this year, the ACA is putting an emphasis on member stories and what careers; personal development/education or skills they’ve pursued away from the cricket field, with both on eye on the future and for work/life balance while on contract

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 and to promote the economic, social and personal benefits of career development.

Career development is a process of managing learning, work and leisure to progress through life. It includes gaining and using the skills and knowledge needed to plan and make informed decisions about education, training, and work. Everyday decisions and priorities affect career development. Ultimately, career development is about much more than jobs- it is about how to live your life.
