Queensland Association of Student Advisers (QASA)

Making confident career choices at results time | Tuesday 3 December 6:00pm (AEDT) The end of the year can be an anxious time for senior secondary students as they take their final exams, wait for their results, and think about what the future holds. Some will celebrate, some will be disappointed, and many will feel uncertain about what it all means. Many will second-guess their decisions and wonder if they should change their plans and preferences.   Join myfuture's career development expert Dr Michael Healy as he shares some tips on how to support young people to make sense of their results and plan their next steps accordingly. We will talk about:   How to make sense of what the results mean for them How to deal with second thoughts How to change their plans, if they really need to What kinds of options they have if they didn't achieve the results they hoped for Where to go for help if they need it.   These tips will help them to make good career decisions and approach the next chapter of their journey with confidence.   Register now for this free webinar event.
