Career Chat: Career Planning and Alternate Career Pathways in Education
CareerChat1
Being a teacher can be a great job, but have you ever thought about what else you can do with an Education degree?
Careers as we know them are changing. It is no longer common practice to stay with the same employer for your whole career, in fact, it is becoming more 'normal' to have multiple careers across multiple industries.
During this Career Chat we will:
- Explore the latest career trends
- Discuss how you can 'position yourself for luck' and take advantage of opportunities
- Use 'Ikigai' to brainstorm your career options, and your reason for 'being'
- Look at some examples of others who have moved out of classroom teaching
Please note: This Career Chat is specifically designed for students in an Education/Teaching degree.
Career Chat sessions are compact and designed to keep you up to date with the latest developments in the world of employment.
Presentations will be held via Zoom, where participants can listen to presenters and ask questions about that session’s ‘Careers Chat’. For those that are unable to attend, the sessions will be recorded and uploaded for you to watch at your convenience.
Past Careers Chats have featured topics and guests such as: Online Interview Skills, Staying Motivated While Applying For Work, Finding a Job While You Study, and more. You can catch up on past Careers Chats in CareerHub here.
