Senior School You can still change the order of your preferences or even your selected degrees before 10 January 2012. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all Year 12 students strength, courage, determination and good self-efficacy as you step into another phase of your career journey. Over the past few decades, there have been significant and irreversible changes in the world of work. Globalisation, economic restructuring, technological advances and social trends have dramatically altered the work environment. Recognition of the changing world of work and its implications for workers is reflected in contemporary understanding of career development. In this dynamic work environment, career development is seen as “…the complex process of managing life, learning and work over the lifespan” (Miles Morgan Australia 2006, p.14). The national career information resources suggest that career development is a lifelong process that is unique for every individual. It suggests that there are many influences that contribute to your career including: • Who you are as an individual. This includes your self-concept, interests, skills, knowledge, personality, ethnicity, age, gender, ability, disability, health, beliefs and sexual orientation. • Your community. The community in which you live and work plays an important role in forming your identity, beliefs and attitudes. Members of your community can include your family, peers, friends or colleagues from your school or workplace, employers, the media, community groups and clubs. These groups can influence the lifestyle you want to aspire towards, the work you choose, the life roles you take on and what you value about yourself. •The environment and wider society. This refers to the opportunities or constraints reflected by factors such as the region or location you live in (i.e. rural or metropolitan), what is happening in the employment market (e.g. job prospects in your career field), your socio-economic status (e.g. do you have to consider financial commitments such as mortgages or children’s education), historical trends (e.g. changes in women’s participation in the workforce) and political decisions (e.g. government grants available for enterprise development). Random and unpredictable events may also impact on your career. For example, your company may be taken over resulting in your redundancy. Alternatively, an unexpected job opportunity may arise following a chance meeting with an ex-colleague. Different sets of influences will be dominant at different stages in your life as you grow and develop as a person. In childhood, ideas about life roles and work are expressed in play and are based on the adults with whom you identify strongly. In adolescence, career exploration is based on identifying interests, abilities, capacities and values; learning about the world of work through observing adults at work; participating in the workforce; and accessing career resources and programs. As an adult, your career development becomes more intricate. Choices are made regarding lifestyle, the life roles you take on, learning pathways, changing career direction, employment/unemployment, enterprise opportunities, and many other personal life events (Adapted from myfuture, 2007). If you can just remember that you are on a journey and if you reflect, review and revise your journey as you see fit, your personal success will always be prevalent. God bless all of you and keep you safe. Mrs Colette Naicker Careers Counsellor 07 3299 0920 c.naicker@canterbury.qld.edu.au
