The National Careers Institute Partnership Grants program provides grants from $20,000 to $350,000 for up to 12 months to enhance partnerships with industry, employers, schools and tertiary institutions to deliver innovative career advisory products and services for people at all stages of their careers.

The objectives for round 3 of the program are to:

• create greater awareness of career pathways and career information for women with a focus on women returning to work from a career break, women in non-traditional industries and occupations, or industries where women are under-represented (including at senior levels)
• contribute to an evidence base for addressing the needs of women undertaking training and apprenticeships
• enhance partnerships between industry, employers, schools and tertiary providers that support women through traditional and non-traditional career pathways.

The intended outcomes of the program are:

• enhanced career pathways that help women of working age to reach their full career potential
• increased understanding by women of skills and attributes sought by employers including in new and emerging industries
• stronger local collaboration in the delivery of career guidance to women of working age
• improved quality of locally based career guidance to women of working age.

Refer to the grant opportunity guidelines for detail about eligible grant activities.
