The Australian Journal of Career Development (AJCD) is the leading professional journal focusing on current theory, practice and policy relating to the career and work education field.

The AJCD is targeted towards professionals in:

Educational and academic settings
Community and government agencies
Business and industrial settings

It features current and relevant articles, case studies concerning innovative programs and individual work, reviews of software, kits, books and programs, and a careers forum to promote the sharing of relevant information and stimulating discussion and debate.

The AJCD will help you:

Keep up with current theory, practice and policy in career education
Be stimulated by the latest research in all aspects of career development
Know about issues in occupational information and trends in the labour market
Find out what other career professionals are doing
Catch up with the training needs of career practitioners and how they might deliver the best service to users

"The AJCD is doing something unique in Australia by having a single journal which speaks to practitioners and researchers across the school, adult vocational education, HR and private practice sectors. In the US there are five journals all pitched to these as discrete groups. The move now is to integrate services across the life-span, so the AJCD is 'ahead of the game'."
