UPCOMING PARENT WEBINARS

TOPIC: Managing Career Uncertainty and Anxiety:  The Power of Career Conversations

 

Career uncertainty has been defined as the inability, as a teenager, to articulate a career ambition or occupational expectation for adult life. As transitions from school to further education, training or work have become more unpredictable and employment markets more competitive and fluid, career uncertainty in young people, both in Australia and internationally, is increasingly common.

 

In this webinar, Dr Jo Gleeson (Monash University), lead author of the forthcoming my future Insights Paper ‘Managing career uncertainty and anxiety: the power of career conversations’, will talk about the findings of her research in this area, and share a questionnaire that can help you to facilitate career conversations with your child.

 

This free webinar will take place on Wednesday 7 June from 5.30pm to 6.30pm.
