National Career Development Week launched its 2010 campaign, with a special community career development forum, hosted by NCDW ambassador Steve Liebmann, guest speakers and inspiring career stories from extra-ordinary local people.

The Launch Your Future - get the life you love! Forum, an initiative of the National Career Development Week Team, held in conjunction with the Macquarie Fields community organisations who form the Learning, Employment and Economic Development Group (LEED), shows what can be achieved when a community works together to improve the career development prospects of its residents.

Celebration week is from 17 to 23 May, but you can be involved through events at any time of the year.
