9:15 Making a life not a living delivered by PUSH
This session will help you engage with the idea of a fulfilling career based on your own aspirations and wellbeing. Understanding how to reflect on one’s skills and aspirations means you can make the most informed and proactive choices possible in regards to what path you wish to take towards their dream career. Careers should not be centered around wages alone but instead take into account all that a person is good at, what they enjoy doing and what suits them as a person.
Push educate students on the many different ways you can gain experience and qualifications to put you where you want to be and with so many different pathways, learning to make great choices is the first step towards finding the right path.
