About

An initiative of the ACS Foundation, the Careers Foundation is a portal designed for high school and university students.  The resources and opportunities created by the Careers Foundation will help students discover and embark on the right career. By providing video clips, job descriptions, blogs, internships, and general career information, students are able to explore options and opportunities.

The ACS Foundation was established in August 2001 to encourage both private and public sponsorship of ICT higher education and research. By increasing funding opportunities for industry to contribute to education programs, the Foundation seeks to create a highly skilled workforce, able to effectively access research and industry-specific training. Since its establishment, the ACS Foundation has raised more than $30 million and awarded more than 3,000 scholarships.

The prime scholarship facilitator focused exclusively on the ICT industry, the ACS Foundation receives funding from ICT companies, industry associations, Government bodies, individuals and the ACS itself. An ATO-designated Deductible Gift Recipient, the ACS Foundation provides tax effective programs for industry and private donors.
