Did you know?

The National Tertiary Education Union estimate nearly 17,000 jobs were cut across the nation's tertiary institutions in 2020 alone, with fears more losses could follow.

The job cuts have exacerbated the pressure on an industry that is already highly competitive for jobs. In the past, academics would look for work at another university, relocate to a university in another country or translate their specialist skills into other work in the private sector. However, with the current state of the market, these options are less available - leaving them to think out of the box to survive.

We offer a different solution

We get that people are unique, and so are their circumstances and needs. Career Money Life has been built on purpose to meet the diverse and complex needs of employees so when the time comes you can be confident that we are there for them with what they need, when they need it.

Most academics have been in the same field for years, the Higher Education sector is vastly different from the corporate sector. In order to help your people maneuver through this difficult, unknown terrain - It is important that you, as their former employer, empower them with the right resources to help shape their future.

“Our clients see the value in offering their teams choice and freedom to allocate their career investment into what they need - be it financial planning, starting a business, critical career-enhancing training or job search skills. How you take care of the people you let go is crucial for your employer brand. Empower your people with a well-rounded, practical solution with Career Money Life.”

  • “I was lucky to find an outstanding coach who helped me land a new role in a very fast time. I was recently made redundant from a job I had for 13 years, and she helped me with a lot of career guidance, a new resume, LinkedIn, and interview prep. Would highly recommend her services to anyone. Thanks again, Career Money Life for giving me the chance to choose the support I really needed.“
