The Limestone Coast Career Development Centre began as a pilot in February 2006, and has developed the model which is now being used by other centres in South Australia.

As it has been operating for some time, it has developed information, data and experience which is useful for future planning and for other centres as they open. The centre took part in the trial of the Australian Blueprint for Career Development and provided feedback about the use of the Blueprint in the centre. The centre uses the Australian Blueprint for Career Development and the Guiding Principles for Career Development Services and Career Information Products as a guide in monitoring and evaluating practice.

Since opening its doors in February 2006 the Limestone Coast centre has provided career services to over 2000 people. Our office hours are from 8.30am to 4.30pm Mon - Thursday & 8.30am to 4.00pm Friday.

Approximately 60% of participants find employment as the result of the support they receive to manage their career. Others take part in training, apprenticeships or carry out volunteer work.

Participants currently range from 16 years old to 65 years old and come from across the Limestone Coast region.

We acknowledge the partners who work with us to make the services provided by the Career Development Centre possible. In particular, we recognise funding from the South Australia Works in the Regions program and project management by Regional Development Australia Limestone Coast
