NATIONAL CAREERS WEEK
|
|
National Careers Week celebrates careers, career development, career development services, and career development practitioners, as well as the economic, social and personal benefits of career development.
Career
development is the 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. Your everyday decisions and priorities affect career development. Ultimately, career development is about much more than jobs – it is about how to live your life.
Check out what's happening around UniSA this week to celebrate:
Most
of you aren’t at uni just to get a degree – you want to secure a job in your chosen career when you graduate. To help you to do just that, UniSA Career Services has developed a new online resource: the Career Development Learning Program (CDL). It's a set of thirteen online learning modules which will equip you with the skills and knowledge to plan and manage your career throughout your study and into the future, starting with developing your own Career Development Plan.
We’re holding a Facebook Live event on 15 May to talk about all things careers. Have a question about career planning or about UniSA's resources? Click 'going' on the Facebook event to
get reminded, then get your questions ready and tune in to the University of South Australia Facebook next week to find out more from our careers panel and get some answers to your career questions!
Is
this the first you've heard about UniSA’s Career Services? Are there any changes or additional resources you would like to see? We'd love to hear your opinion to help us improve these services for students and alumni. Take the survey now, open until 17 May. |
