About
The National Careers Forum was a new initiative launched last year to support collaboration between employers and the university sector to address the skills shortage. This initiative is funded through the AAGE by the Australian Government's Department of Education, Science and Training. The inaugural event was held on Thursday 6th December 2007.
Purpose
The purpose of the National Careers Forums are to bring together employers, university representatives and other key stakeholders in a series of twice yearly meetings to discuss, identify and implement strategies that will help university graduates find suitable employment.
The aims are:
1. To help employers fill job vacancies
2. To help students find jobs
3. To help address skills shortages
National Careers Forums take place every six months, with the venue rotating from city to city.
