The Career Education Association of Victoria Inc (CEAV) is an education association, providing services to professionals, non professionals and the general public.
The CEAV was formed in 1975 to provide service and support to industry and schools. Its focus was to start the dialogue between young people leaving school and employers seeking to develop their workforce capabilities. This was achieved through the development of work experience programs and training in career education. The CEAV was instrumental in advocating for career education teachers in schools to assist young people with their future career planning. Over time the association has grown to include career practitioners working with young people and adults in a variety of educational settings including non-school based settings.
In 2013, the CEAV redeveloped its profile to be more reflective of its purpose. In 2014, the association commenced trading as the Australian Centre for Career Education (ACCE). The ACCE is a registered educational charity and achieved this status in 2015.
The ACCE now has the capacity to provide a more holistic approach to career education services for its members and the broader community.
The Australian Centre for Career Educations’ vision is to service the wider public benefit as the leader in the provision of quality career education and career development services and products to the community.
The Australian Centre for Career Education supports clients and those most disadvantaged within the broader community to access career education, quality career development services and products. The ACCE supports its members and non members to promote career development as a lifelong process. This is achieved through the development and delivery of ethical and professional career education programs and products.
