Today, I had the privilege of presenting at an online career planning session, and can confidently say it was an incredibly rewarding experience. Seeing so many interested and active (!) students and counselors engaged in shaping their career paths reminded me why I started Altiora Learning—to empower students (and schools!) to reach higher and achieve more. 🌟 Career planning isn’t just about finding a university course or your next job; it’s about building a strategic roadmap that aligns with your passions, values, and long-term goals. During the session, I shared actionable insights on: • Identifying the intersection of your strengths, dreams, and opportunities • Finding a university course / major best aligned to these • Choosing between vocational and academic paths At Altiora Learning, we bring a tailored approach to career planning, because we understand that the best career and the best course is deeply personal - and we also know that there are many ways that can lead to one's dream career. 😉 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the session and the amazing team that organised it—you’ve reaffirmed my commitment to supporting students find their best way forward, regardless of where they are at at the moment. 💼✨ #CareerPlanning #ProfessionalGrowth #AltioraLearning #CareerSuccess #Gratitude #universitycounselling #collegecounseling #flyhigh

Happy Monday. 🌟 Inspiring the Next Generation: Career Talks at Schools 🌟 This morning, I had the opportunity to speak at Hoxton Garden Primary about my career journey and the exciting possibilities that exist in the legal sector. I was completely taken aback by how inquisitive and engaged the year 5 classes were. Seeing the curiosity and enthusiasm in the students’ eyes reminded me of the importance of these interactions. It’s crucial to provide them with the knowledge and confidence to pursue their dreams. Engaging with young minds and sharing insights about the professional world is truly rewarding for me. It is something I certainly wish I had more of when I was at school. Career talks are more than just presentations; they are a chance to: - Inspire students to explore diverse career paths. - Connect classroom learning with real-world applications. - Empower the next generation to make informed decisions about their futures. Let’s continue to bridge the gap between education and the professional world, one talk at a time! 💼✨ #CareerTalks #Education #Inspiration #FutureLeaders
