National Careers Week is an initiative of the Career Industry Council of Australia and aims to celebrate careers, career development, career development services, and career development practitioners and to promote the economic, social and personal benefits of career development.

Career development is a process of managing learning, work and leisure to progress through life. It includes gaining and using the skills and knowledge needed to plan and make informed decisions about education, training, and work. Everyday decisions and priorities affect career development. Ultimately, career development is about much more than jobs – it is about how to live your life.

The objectives of National Careers Week are to:

• Develop community awareness of the concept, benefit, and value of career development.

• Raise aspirations, challenge stereotypes, and broaden horizons about careers.

• Highlight the need for ongoing reskilling and upskilling to support careers throughout life.

• Identify the changing nature of work and its impact on all Australians.

• Showcase industries and the career opportunities available in them.

• Provide opportunities to partner with key stakeholders.

Please see the pages following with an activity timetable which includes webinars, live streams, university information sessions and so much more. Each event is a linked directly to an event or the registration page for the event.

You will also see after the timetable a description of each event, JobJump information and more future careers events!

If you have any questions please contact Belinda Standage, Careers Adviser, at the school.

Your career in Space... right here, right now

Have you ever thought about a career in Space? Tim and Julia want to take you on a trek… to places that you may not have imagined.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to explore possible careers in Space.

When you hear the word “space”, you are probably imagining astronauts and living on the International Space Station, and soon,

travelling to the Moon and Mars. Yes! And for every astronaut and every space mission, there are thousands of jobs needed to be

done right here on Earth too in one of the world’s fastest-growing high-tech industries: space.

And in Australia, the space industry is starting to grow fast. The demand for people with STEAM skills, including researchers,

engineers (aerospace, electronics, mechanical and computer), data analysts and astronomers, as well as communicators, project

managers and even salespeople are - post COVID-19 - set to increase dramatically.

Please join Dr Tim Parsons and Julia Mitchell as they share with you some of the emerging career opportunities, and the kind of skills,

and areas of study to pursue, and even projects to join if you think this might be the career for you.

Organisation Profile

The Space Industry Association of Australia (SIAA) is a nationwide organisation formed to promote the growth of the Australian space

sector. By formulating national policies and strategies, SIAA speaks with authority and credibility on behalf of its members to

accelerate the growth of the Australian space industry.

Early Childhood Teaching Careers with Future Tracks

Across Australia, the demand for bachelor qualified early childhood teachers (ECTs) is growing. Over the next five years, an

additional 29,000 ECTs will be needed to meet the increased demand.

This demand is being driven by governments and families who are recognising the importance of professional early childhood

teachers. We are seeing a swell of support for more roles, in more communities all across Australia.

For students, there has never been a better time to pursue a degree in early childhood teaching. Not only is early childhood

teaching a rewarding career where you can make an impact, it also opens up a range of opportunities in roles such

as teaching, managing a small business, developing government policy and everything in between.

Join Future Tracks for a webinar on the Future of Early Childhood Education.

The webinar will explore early childhood teaching as a career pathway, shedding light on the opportunities available

to students while studying at university and beyond.

We’ll also discuss the unique benefits and advantages offered by Future Tracks designed to supercharge their early childhood

teaching careers, including:

Paid work while you complete your degree

Access to an experienced early childhood mentor

Leadership development.

In a time of uncertainty, early childhood teaching is a future proof career path for students who want a job with flexibility, creativity

a chance to make a real impact by shaping the next generation of thinkers and leaders.

Future Tracks is a new social enterprise designed to attract and support the next generation of early childhood teachers. Our

innovative program brings together university experts, experienced leaders in the early childhood sector, and students studying

undergraduate degrees in early childhood teaching.

Virtual Seminar

Dr Tim Kitchen, Adobe

‘Skills to Thrive in the Future’

To be competitive in the current and future world of work, it is important to develop a range of what are commonly

referred to as ‘soft skills’ and ‘hard skills’. Most education systems are good at encouraging students to develop hard

skills because they are easy to measure and test. In many cases this is at the detriment of so called ‘soft skills’ that are

hard to measure yet so important in the workplace of today and tomorrow, especially in the light of all the COVID-19

disruptions. Both LinkedIn/Microsoft and the World Economic Forum have released some interesting research that rates

the most important skills required to thrive in the future and they are anything but ‘soft’. During this presentation, Dr

Tim Kitchen from Adobe will share his thoughts on this topic following his nearly 30 years as an educator and currently as

Adobe’s Senior Education specialist for Asia Pacific

Australia’s next generation shipbuilding industry

Australia is about to embark on some of the most technologically advanced programs in the world in our Naval Shipbuilding Industry.

Experiences on these programs will be world-class and create endless opportunities.

The Naval Shipbuilding College is an unprecedented approach to ensuring Australia and industry have the workforce required to

sustain a sovereign shipbuilding industry. Thousands of skilled and professional people are required, including trades, program and

project managers, purchasing, quality, designers, quality, engineering, logistics and professional support roles.

We have established a training and education provider network in every state and territory of Australia and are endorsing courses at

TAFE and university partners to ensure graduates leave with the skills required by industry and contribute to a sustainable pipeline of

appropriately skilled workers.

Through the Workforce Register, the Naval Shipbuilding College undertakes comprehensive candidate screening and provides a

transitional career pathway for our pool of skilled employment candidates ensuring they are ‘job ready’ for their chosen career in the

Australian shipbuilding industry. We also provide weekly updates on current employment opportunities and tailored advice on

appropriate training and education pathways that can lead to rewarding careers within the Enterprise.

Find out how the Naval Shipbuilding College can help you on the path to a long term, innovative and exciting career.

Beyond school: Do you know where your

students need to go?

For many students, navigating a post-school pathway can be an overwhelming task. We have resources to help people:

• compare and decide on a course

• access an Australian Government loan, such as HECS-HELP

• find out what financial assistance is available.

We’ll chat about the Australian Government products and services available to help equip students as they begin their tertiary

pathway.

We want students to be empowered to make the right decisions.

We’ll share products and tools developed by the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE), the Australian Taxation

Office (ATO) and Services Australia.

These include DESE’s Beyond School Study Guide and Course Seeker, ComparED and Study Assist websites. We’ll also talk about

Services Australia’s Payment and Service Finder and School Leavers Resource Kit.

Why Career Adaptability is important for

Athletes

An athletic career is characterized by different phases and

transitions that demand relevant decision-making

strategies to enable the athlete to successfully continue

with sport and education/work.

Especially the junior-to-senior-transition and the

transition out of elite sport are known to be crucial

turning phases for athletes. These periods are often

characterized by uncertainty, psychological distress, and a

potential loss of identity.

To constantly adapt to new circumstances in relation to

their athletic and educational/vocational career, athletes

need relevant coping resources to overcome the specific

demands each transition encompasses.

Furthermore, athletes are part of a wider environment

that involves different key persons such as parents,

coaches, teachers, and friends. These persons can play a

significant role in supporting the development of the

athlete’s career adaptability throughout their career.

In Andreas’ presentation, he will use the Holistic Athletic

Career Model (which highlights that athletes develop in

the sporting, psychological, psychosocial, and academic

domain) and provide some examples of his own dual

career development in connection with Savickas (2013)

framework of career adaptability.

Focusing on the critical transition phases, he will provide

different suggestions of how athletes and career

counsellors can work with the career adaptability

dimensions (i.e., concern, control, curiosity, confidence)

that can enable athletes to be successful in sport and life

beyond.
