Career Planet – for college-aged students
Commended by the Career Development Association of Australia (CDAA):
CareerPlanet brings an inclusive perspective to career planning by emphasizing that individuals possess diverse identities, cultures, and perspectives. By acknowledging our interdependence with a larger universe, students can realise their responsibilities towards one another and the planet.
CareerEQ understands that many people, particularly young people, are now uncertain about their prospects for a successful future. Our accustomed ways of thinking about our place in the world are being challenged by the lifestyles we have grown accustomed to. The advent of artificial intelligence and climate change will bring about a significant change in the world of work, rendering many jobs and career paths obsolete, while at the same time creating many new opportunities that we are yet to discover.
In order to successfully navigate the challenges of the changing world of work, it will be important for us to have resilience, self-awareness, and confidence to make meaningful transitions in our careers. When we have a clear understanding of our ‘Why’, we can more easily identify the ‘What’ we want to pursue and then determine the ‘How’ to get there. This will help us make informed decisions about our careers and find fulfilment in our working lives.
CareerPlanet’s career inquiry process, is a response to our uncertain future. It is designed to empower individuals to explore their motivations and discover what they want to be involved with to make a difference. This is a tool designed to map individuals’ unique skills and interests, helping them gain clarity on where they can best contribute that is right for them.
