CareerOne educates voters for upcoming federal election

National employment website, CareerOne.com.au, has launched a new editorial feature,Election 2007- Your Future At Work, in the lead up to the November 24 federal election.

The new section features credible, useful information on work-related policy promises beingmade by the major political parties, including an easy-to-use multimedia guide. The featurehas been designed to educate working people on how their upcoming vote will impact their
future, in particular their career.

The new Election 2007 – Your Future At Work feature on CareerOne.com.au includes:

• A comprehensive guide to what the five major political parties (The Coalition, The
  Australian Labor Party, The Democrats, The Greens and Family First) are promising
  in eight policy areas: Industrial Relations, Tax Reform, Welfare to Work, Working
  Parents, Indigenous Affairs, Vocational Education, Immigration and Higher Education.
• A variety of video content including interviews with voters and statements from candidates
• Opinion pieces

Editor of CareerOne, Kate Southam, says the new election feature demonstrates a commitment to engaging and educating working people well beyond just providing job hunting tips.

“CareerOne.com.au offers its users a range of engaging content surrounding employment and helping people understand what is being promised by politicians to improve their future working life is an important part of this," she said.
“Political party policies on employment are a vital part of the decision making process in this federal election. Issues such as industrial relations, tax reform and working parents are a real part of daily life for a lot of Australians and we are helping people make an informed
decision."

Election 2007 – Your Future At Work comes following CareerOne.com.au’s relaunch last month, offering a new and enhanced website making it even easier for job candidates and employers to connect.
