Kia ora everyone, Hope you are keeping well as we count down towards the end of Term 2. It certainly feels like the weeks are flying by, but it’s always nice to have some time for a bit of rest and reflection over the school holidays. Due to popular demand, I have been asked to run another New Career Advisor Workshop at the beginning of November in Wellington for those who have missed the previous workshops and have been recently appointed to the role. Anyone is welcome to these workshops and I know a number of members have used this workshop as a “refresh”. Remember that the early bird registrations for the CATE conference in November close at the end of June. Click below to find details about the programme and keynote speakers. This week we profile Sir Ashley Bloomfield who will be a closing speaker. Check out Wednesday's Seven Sharp episode where Heather Lowery-Kappes is speaking with Ben Hurley about students making career decisions when they leave school and when is the right age! Watch Seven Sharp S2023E99 | TVNZ+ ( Starts at 17.35 minutes) When making decisions we encourage students to think about the future prospects for different carrer choices. We want them to consider a number of factors. Gallup in partnership with Amazon Future Engineer, Amazon’s philanthropic computer science education programme, have created a tool—CFI interactive. This tool was designed to paint a picture of how a given role ranks in the following categories: 1) pay, including whether it offers enough to sustain a family, defined as $69,740 in annual income; 2) job growth; 3) openings per job seeker; 4) how resistant a career is to being taken over by automation, including artificial intelligence; and 5) what level of education is typical for those employed in the field. After assessing all those elements, the role is assigned a CFI score—the higher the number, the more economically viable a job is. We have to recognise this tool is not NZ based but could be the basis of good class discussions. What do you think?  |
