Mr Employability

IEP Group CEO Scott Parkin FIEP (AKA Mr Employability) is on a mission Down Under, catching up with our Australian partners, making new connections and collaborating in discussions about the future of the Australian employability sector.

On 2nd April, Scott attended an Advisory Board Meeting for the Australian Research Council Linkage Project (ARCLP) – Building Sustainable Employment Pathways.

Chaired by Professor Jo Ingold FIEP of Peter Faber Business School, Australian Catholic University, the meeting reflected on the very successful seventh and final Masterclass at SEEK HQ in Melbourne.

The Advisory Board then discussed next steps for the project: Insights briefing, employment service provider session, DEA Conference sessions, academic journal articles, conferences – and other opportunities – a systematic review, benchmark and Toolkit development and testing.

Scott said “I was delighted to be invited to become a Board Member and join the ARC Advisory Board this week and be part of important discussions with such prominent employability professionals and stakeholders including our friend and Fellow, Professor Jo Ingold FIEP, Professor Angela Knox from the University of Sydney and Post-doctoral Research Fellow and recent contributor to the IEP Journal, Dr Qian Yi Lee from Australian Catholic University. The IEP are working extensively across Australia and are proud to be involved in conversations to help shape the future of the Australian employability sector.”
