The CareerTrackers Board and Leadership Team proudly supports the Yes campaign and a Voice to Parliament. Read our statements here.
From Gala events that celebrate our interns and employers, to our appearances in the media, we work constantly to amplify the work and voices of First Nations peoples. Here is where you will find the latest news and resources.
This year CareerTrackers held galas in Naarm, Meanjin, Warrane, Tarndanya and Boorloo with CEO Wotjobaluk woman Taryn Marks travelling around the country meeting in person many from the CareerTrackers community, and hearing their stories and feedback on their CareerTrackers journeys.
This year’s theme, The Future is First Nations, rang true with over 42 awards being given and keynote addresses from student and alumni cohort inspiring audiences across the country with stories of resilience, hard work and educational and workplace achievements.
CareerTrackers CEO Taryn Marks, Wotjobaluk woman said: “From Meanjin to Boorloo we express our thanks and gratitude to the Elders for Welcoming the CareerTrackers community to their Country and joining in the celebration of the achievements of our students, interns, corporate and community partners, staff, alumni and friends.”
The awards were attended by the CareerTrackers community including not only the students and interns and family members, but alumni of the program, many of whom have gone on to have leadership roles in some of Australia’s top corporate companies. CareerTrackers corporate partners were also honoured with BUPA winning the Partnering for Excellence Award.
