Driving your own career
Date: Thursday 10 August 2017, 9.30-11.30am
Venue: ML 13.118
Facilitator: Sally Purcell, Macquarie University
The world of work is changing at a more rapid pace than ever before with exponential growth in automation and increasing flexibility and globalisation. The predictions are that higher order thinking and analytical skills will have expanding value which would mean that PhD graduates are well placed to be competitive now and into the future. The challenge will be, for all of us, to remain aware of technological changes, ideally before they impact upon our jobs and ensure that we remain engaged with our ‘industry’ and understand the needs of employers and stakeholders so that we can take steps to build the skills needed for the dynamic world of work. Combined with the need for relevant skills is the need to be clear on our interests, strengths and values - recognising that these can change over time. Within this workshop, we will work together to explore ways of ‘getting in touch’ with your motivations and objectives with the aim of seeking satisfying and purposeful work over the course of your career.
