about the program
My Career Rules gives students the opportunity to prepare questions and interact with a panel of professionals from specific jobs and industries, opening their minds to careers that reflect the current workplace. Providing a link between classroom learning and the real world of work, it aims to reinforce messages about the skills and mindsets needed to make a successful career in the future workplace.
Research shows that students from low socio-economic backgrounds often have limited role models from the world of work and their aspirations are limited as a result. Mentors sharing their own career journeys and challenges can make an enormous impact as students consider their options for the future.
My Career Rules is a digital program with one fully facilitated session and can be tailored to students from Years 10-12. Following an introduction to the company and industry, workshop panellists share their career journeys and discuss challenges in an online Q&A facilitated by ABCN. Students are encouraged to ask their own prepared questions for the panellists during the session.
