    About this ebook

    Like many other nations, Australia experienced social and economic transformation. They had to implement career development measures that would sustain the progress needed because their way of life was being threatened by the international crisis happening around them. To do this Australia utilized mediums that would successfully create new programs, services, schemes, and benefits. At present in Jamaica, many of the graduates of secondary institutions enter the job market ill equipped to access the opportunities available to them. For some, there is inadequate basic academic preparation; for most, there is inadequate career education. The world of work has grown very complex and numerous career options are open to students. Educational decisions made rather early in the school life of students, will have a decisive influence on their access to careers of choice later on. It is important that career awareness, career exploration and career preparation activities be incorporated into their early education.

      Career Development in Australia

      Preface

      Like many other societies and nations, Australia experienced social and economic transformation. They had to implement measures that would sustain the progress needed for any nation because their way of life has been affected by the international situation occurring around them. To do this Australia utilised mediums that would successfully create new programs, services, schemes and benefits. From the 1920’s to present, these practices are still kept in place and are revised often as well as new ideas implemented. Change pushed Australia to focus on new ways of survival.

      This paper will therefore, scrutinize the transformation in Australia by doing several things. Firstly, a brief introduction of the Australian people will be specified. Secondly, mention will be given to the factors that caused Australia to adapt. Thirdly, I will look into the measures, which were implemented to counter the changes, and finally groups in the population who benefitted from the service will
