News from Government and Community Safety

Greetings all RICAs

Careergov.com.au is launching a new Resource Library!

The library is easy to use and features over 100 resources about careers in Government and Community Safety. The resources are current and regularly reviewed, and help to highlight skills needs, training and career pathways and occupational and career opportunities in Corrections, Local Government, Public Safety, the Public Sector and the Water Industry.

The resources featured are either downloadable or provide you with the details for where copies can be obtained from. The catalogue can be searched in a number of ways including by industry sector, state or keyword.

New items will be constantly added to the library so if you know of any good resources that you think should be added, please let either myself or Beth know.

Please find attached a brochure which outlines the key features of the Library for your use and distribution throughout the CAA network.

To visit the Resource Library please follow this link: http://www.careergov.com.au/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=212

Kind regards,
Alun and Beth
