Learning from our College Leader

University and TAFE Open Days are in full swing - we caught up with Kyle G, College Captain, to hear about his experience on the weekend!

The Swinburne Open Day was fantastic! It allowed me to explore and see the environment and culture of the University. I got to investigate the different courses available, which I found interesting. I discovered courses that I may have never considered on studying previously, if I had not gone and checked it out. Overall, it was an eye-opening experience that has helped me refine what interests me in studying in the future.

These free webinars are a great way to learn about myfuture and other current topics from expert presenters.

The role of emotion in career education (for parents and carers) Tuesday 29 August, 1:00 PM (AEST)

Emotions, both positive and negative, are not only a result of educational and work experiences, but also play a vital role in learning and personal development. In education and employment, emotions can either stimulate or constrain thought processes, reflection, and proactive behaviours. Based on the Insights paper 'How emotions influence motivation and behaviour in career development learning', this webinar, presented by Dr Michael Healy, will help you understand how different emotions might affect your child’s career development in different ways. He will provide advice on how you can recognise and respond to different career-related emotions that your child might be experiencing.

Coping with emotional challenges in career development - R U OK? Day 2023, Thursday September 14, 1:00pm (AEST)

Young people face uncertain employment pathways in their futures, and often feel enormous pressure to make the “right” career decisions to ensure success. Many typical career development tasks and situations can trigger or worsen stress and mental ill-health. In this webinar, the teams from the Student Wellbeing Hub and the myfuture career information service will join in a discussion about how career development influences, and is influenced by, wellbeing and emotional resilience. Coinciding with R U OK? Day 2023, they will share practical tips and resources for educators and parents to help young people cope with the emotional challenges that are so central to career development learning.
