The event will be held at the Curtin Medical School on Saturday, 17 September from 8:30am – 12:30pm.
The theme for this year's event will be 'Disrupted Careers'.
The program will develop our understanding of careers beyond cancer, myWAY Employability, pivoting to new opportunities through vet, and practical career practitioner strategies.
As in previous years, we have put together a high quality program which will appeal to Career Practitioners from all sectors, including those working in private practice, universities, vocational education colleges and secondary schools.
