Course Description

Did you know that the average adult changes their career seven to ten times throughout their life, and with many jobs in between?

You are on a road trip to your goals

Your career journey is the life journey that you take that includes all your jobs, experiences, and education/training that culminates in developing the unique person that you are as you navigate your life path.

Throughout your career journey, there will be important life influences that shape who you are and the decisions that you make. During your career and life journey, there will be self-understanding, a focus on your needs and skill and professional development to enhance your career.



Your journey is unique

Every individual is different. Everyone has a different approach to managing stress, setting goals, learning new skills, and setting their priorities.

This makes your journey unique to you—and while your career journey requires flexibility and a holistic approach, there is no one formula that can serve everyone on the path to their career goals. Yet no matter how many obstacles you might face, the end result depends on how you navigate them.

This is why you need counselling from experts who can pay attention to your personal and professional obstacles, impart their wisdom to help you manage your career changes, and help you build a game plan.


Audience

All teachers who are wanting to improve their professional practice to attain their career aspirations.
