QGCA is proud to present "Envisioning futures: Assisting children and adolescents through career education", a free webinar to celebrate National Careers Week. ​

Wednesday 14th May 12pm

Abstract
Career education in schools is about much more than just subject selection and pathways planning. Through career education, schools can help students understand and express their emerging identity, explore their place in the world, and motivate them to set and achieve meaningful goals. Career development is a lifelong and lifewide learning process, which means that we owe it to our students to offer support early, often, and across the curriculum.

In this webinar Dr Mary McMahon, Honorary Associate Professor in the School of Education at The University of Queensland, and Dr Michael Healy, National Career Education Manager of myfuture.edu.au will discuss the broad and deep benefits of career education for students of all ages, the crucial importance of starting career education early, and the role that all educators play in supporting the career development of their students.
