Many students go to college because of career aspirations and yet nearly half of job seeking college grads regret their major in hindsight. Despite the emphasis on career-readiness, 51% of students visited career services once or less throughout their college journey. We spent months meeting with students, campus leaders, and career services professionals to understand the disconnect. What we uncovered was that students want more opportunities to explore potential career paths in their industry earlier in their journey and they need the structure of a course to invest time in career discovery. ➡ What we created in response are 200-level industry-specific career navigation courses that give students the confidence to discover available career paths, execute the job search process, and practice with professionals in their chosen field. ➡ In addition to the career navigation courses, this fall we also released a free and easy career exploration tool for students to explore their possible career paths. Check out the video below to hear more about our new offerings to help students find a pathway to fulfilling employment from our Head of Learning, Gregory Edwards ↗

Thrilled to Share My Experience! I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend an enlightening session on career readiness, organized by the FCES Students' Council and led by the esteemed instructor Mr. Joseph Hanany 🧭. Career readiness isn't just about starting on the right foot; it's an investment in oneself to achieve professional success. This session has truly illuminated my path, motivating me to approach my career with renewed clarity and purpose. Looking forward to exploring more sessions and unlocking my full potential this summer! #FCESStudentsCouncil #CareerReadiness #ProfessionalDevelopment #SuccessJourney #LearningAndGrowth

So many people are still buzzing from last week's Career Development Association Australia National Conference in Melbourne 🔥 As this little snippet from Lucy Sattler's packed-out ballroom explains, we need to get young people to be thinking WAY WIDER than the 'same 10 jobs' they always think of when they're challenged. 50% of students aspire to just 1% of the jobs available out there (simply because they don't know of many others), it's any wonder why they end up choosing courses of study that aren't right for them. Or start a career they don't enjoy. Lucy's presentation about the CADI #CareerClusters was incredibly well received last week, and that's because it's an easy way for everyone in education to talk about the world of work. And it's free. The only problem I've got now is getting so many new schools and career practitioners up-to-speed on delivering it! (Thankfully, that's easy for them to do 😉 ) Check out a little of Lucy's talk below: #SearchForTheCareerClusters #careers #CDAA #pathways #careerdevelopment #cadiclusters #studyworkgrow #CareerEducation #schoolcounselor #careersadvisor #careercounselor #highschool #hr
