National Industry Career Specialists
The 10 National Industry Career Specialists support the work of the 57 Regional Industry Career Advisers by providing targeted, sector-specific, quality career information with a particular focus on skills needs and labour markets.
National Industry Career Specialists work with key stakeholders to inform the Regional Industry Career Advisers, industry, employers and business about emerging skills needs, training pathways, and career opportunities in the 10 industry sectors. This strategy ensures this information is readily available to young people when they start thinking about career choices.
The National Industry Career Specialists also aim to raise awareness of the Career Advice Australia programs and services at a national level.
