Advocating for Careers Advisers CAA recognises the concerns of our members that in some schools, whoever is expedient to undertake the school’s Careers Advisers position is being employed, rather than hiring suitably qualified and trained careers advisers. There are also concerns that the time allocation for Careers Education is being reduced, administrative staff are being utilised to do the role, and there are instances where the position of the Careers Adviser has been abolished entirely. Such practices undermine the status of our profession, and CAA is highlighting these concerns and raising awareness with Principals and other relevant parties about the dangers in these practices. CAA has written to the Minister for Education and to view a copy of this letter, please click here. CAA will continue to update members on our efforts in relation to this. CAA has also written to Minister Garrett in relation to the DEEWR decision to eliminate the distribution of an individual copy of the Job Guide to Year 10 students across Australia. We are disappointed that DEEWR have made this decision. To view a copy of CAA's letter, click here. You are welcome to use our letter as a basis for your own should you wish to write to the Minister yourself. |
