CEAV Career Counselling Australia (CCCA) is a division of The Australian Centre for Career Education, a national association and thought leader in career development. Our accredited team provide professional career counselling services, benchmarking audits and assessments, and projects that increase employment outcomes for our community’s most disadvantaged job seekers through our Ready2Work Program.
If you are looking to establish goals, transition from education to work, increase your employability, change careers, or overcome barriers to employment, then call us on (03) 9433 8000. Our professional team is here to help you.
We offer a wide range of career services and can support you with structured skills to build the career you want. Our career counsellors can improve your work readiness so you can gain and successfully sustain employment. We are a licensed associate and training provider for the internationally validated Employment Readiness Scale™ - a self-assessment tool that helps identify how ready you are for work.
The ERS is included in our counselling services and provides you with a career action plan. During your session, our career counsellor will explain your action plan and help you identify the most useful supports and actions needed to reach your goals.
If you already know your goals but are facing barriers to work, our career counsellors will help you navigate a way forward. It is not uncommon for people to wonder why they cannot find employment. Our career counsellors can help you understand your barriers to successful employment and address these with targeted interventions. We can also help you understand the skills and courses that are available to support you on your employment journey.
Our services are available as individual face-to-face sessions and via teleconsulting.
