The knowledge that career development is good for individuals, families, communities, employers and the economy (and in this context, good for defence and national security) becomes the foundation for identifying and creating a suitable ADF partner career development strategy and framework and designing, developing and investing in suitable career development policies and programs.
Rather than a problem-focused deficit approach ADF partner employment can be approached with an asset model mindset and a focus on the opportunities that arise from investing in career development support for ADF partners.
