Farewell to RICA and CAA

The Career Advice Australia initiative winds up at the end of 2009, with two new replacement programs commencing 1st January 2010.

It is with much sadness that we farewell all our stakeholders, with whom we have formed such close ties over the four years of the the program.

Pictured below are a few snaps of memorable occasions.........


Over the year of 2008, RICA Helen Ellis mentored a class of Year 11/12 Cafe Studies students at Guilford Young College, Hobart campus. Pictured above is their teacher, Aaron Lucas.

RICA (south) hosted an employer cocktail party at the end of the expo, where two speakers talked about the benefits of employing people with a disability.
