Review of career development services in Australian tertiary institutions

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) commissioned PhillipsKPA to undertake an independent review of career development services provided by Australian tertiary education providers. The review commenced in July 2007 with a national programme of stakeholder consultation and information gathering. [This] review assesses the impact of the recommendations of previous reviews, particularly the extent to which career development services are considered part of the core business of higher education (HE) and vocational education and training (VET) providers. A related issue is the level of student interest in career advice, the extent to which they use and value the services provided, and the benefits of career development services for students, institutions and employers. In addition, the review examines international best practice in policy frameworks, provides comparisons with Australian trends and activities, and identifies examples of good practice in Australian tertiary institutions.
