Our Story

From one consultancy to a family of brands.

The story of Career Calling International is the story of Australian education's last two decades: told by the people who helped providers through every change.

How it began

Knowledgeable specialists. A simple promise of quality.

Career Calling International is so much more than a training organisation. We set out to be a trustworthy partner for organisations meeting the challenges of managing a business: building skilled teams for industry requirements, developing best practice mindsets, improving virtual team performance, preparing international assignees and equipping employees for specific target markets.

We are a team of knowledgeable compliance specialists. Each senior member of our team has more than 20 years of experience in training and education, and our consultants have been serving clients since 1999, providing training and assessment resources to thousands of training organisations.

Milestones

The journey so far

The names, the domains and the companies behind the family of brands each have a date. These are the points on the line that changed what the family could do.

The CAQA and The VET Sector names are first used

Compliance and Quality Assurance, better known as CAQA, is the name the compliance practice has carried since 1999, and The VET Sector name dates from the same year. They are the oldest names in the family of brands, and the reason compliance sits at the centre of everything that followed.
