Our Story
Career Ascent Academy began as a vision shared by Eleanor Vance, a seasoned HR professional, and Michael Brown, an expert in career development. Both recognized a critical gap in the market: the need for personalized, practical interview preparation that goes beyond generic advice. In 2015, fueled by their shared passion and extensive experience, they founded Career Ascent Academy in Sydney, Australia.
Initially, the academy offered in-person workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Students praised the practical strategies, personalized feedback, and the genuine care that the coaches demonstrated. As word of mouth spread, the academy expanded its services to cater to a wider audience, including online courses and virtual coaching sessions.
Over the years, Career Ascent Academy has helped thousands of individuals from diverse backgrounds land their dream jobs. From recent graduates navigating the complexities of the job market to seasoned executives seeking to advance their careers, the academy has provided the tools and support needed to succeed. The success stories of our students are a testament to the effectiveness of our approach.
