Claire Pech – Careers Advisor
Sydney University – Careers Advisors Day
Last Friday I was out at Sydney University, with all of the Careers Advisors in NSW, hearing about their new initiatives for 2020 and why their graduates are still rated so highly amongst employers.
For a full transcript of my notes, please click here
Areas that I cover, in full, are:
- Interdisciplinary and Community Project Units
- The Student Experience Project new from 2019-2021
- The Psychology of Coaching Resilience
- Results from the 2019-20 UAC preferences and results from UAC
- School of Design, Architecture and Planning
A fascinating session was held on resilience and the changes in people’s resilience, as a result of the current climate. This ties in very well into the parenting changes during the last decade and how parenting can have such influence on students ability to cope with life challenges, and noted in this article is parents involvement in the choices that students make for subject selections, tertiary courses and careers.
