On ANZAC Day, we pause to remember those who served and continue to serve, and the sacrifices made in the service of others.

It is also a time to reflect on values that endure across generations: duty, resilience, courage, and caring for one another.

Career development at its core is about service and contribution too. It involves helping people discover ways to utilise their skills and experiences in meaningful work and to build lives of purpose within their communities.

As we approach National Careers Week 2026, we honour the legacy of service by continuing to support individuals and communities to connect, create, and thrive.

Easter is a good reminder that sometimes what you are looking for is not always where you expect it to be.

Careers can be a bit like that too.

Paths rarely run in straight lines. Skills get picked up along the way. Interests change. Opportunities appear in unexpected places.

That is exactly why career development matters and why National Careers Week 2026 focuses on helping people connect create and thrive.

Whether you are enjoying a long weekend a chocolate egg or a moment to reflect on what is next for you we hope Easter brings a chance to pause and reset.

We will be back soon as we count down to National Careers Week from 11 to 17 May 2026.
