Workshop & Coaching Session Topics

Our in-school programmes give students a holistic view of who they are and which careers may suit them, while also preparing them for the working world with practical skills and insights.

Our programmes bridge the gap between school and work.

Year 10 Workshops

What could be - Dream! 1:1 Interview (15 mins)
Students have their first insight into what a professional interview might feel like in this 1:1 interview where we aim to broaden aspirations, encourage them to think about what they like and consider potential career options. Each student's results are provided to the school after the interview.
Defining Careers - Limitless opportunities await!
This workshop opens students' minds to the breadth of careers available and broadens their aspirations. We showcase a huge range of opportunities, what the future of employment is likely to look like and what skills young people will need to succeed within the workforce.
Year 11 Workshops

Side Hustle - Entrepreneurship Programme
Swivel Side Hustle entrepreneurship programme for students is designed to promote agency, student voice, creativity and confidence. In this full-day workshop, we look at all areas of entrepreneurship: ideation, resources, budgets and marketing, plus much more!

Swivel Excursion
In this full-day or half-day out of the classroom, students will visit a number of different industries, learn from business leaders about what a typical 'day in the life’ is like at their place of work and what they look for in potential employees.
Year 12 Individual Coaching Session
Career coaching helps students gain greater self-awareness around their purpose, values and potential to more effectively determine which further education, industry and career path is right for them.
‍
Career counselling is the systematic process of analysing the student's strengths, interests, skills and abilities, and mapping them with the right career option and education. With the help of our psychometric profiling tool, we match their personality, skill sets and interests with their passions and ambitions to inspire them with their own potential.

They gain confidence in themselves, an understanding of what career paths will enable them to shine, and what steps they need to take to get there.
‍
1. PROFILE INTERVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE
‍
2. PSYCHOMETRIC PROFILING
‍
Personality and work styles: This is a broad-range occupational personality inventory that is based on modern neuroscientific thinking and psychometric models of personality. It contains ten broad scales that correspond to the ten aspects of personality identified by De Young et al. (2010) and can be aggregated to form the Big Five: Extraversion, Openness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, Agreeableness. Ability assessments: General mental ability influences how quickly somebody learns, how readily they adapt, how easily they understand, and how adeptly they can solve problems. We test students verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning abilities. The careers Interests Assessment: Is based on the Holland model of general career interests, which is one of the most widely accepted models of career themes today. As a career guidance tool, it provides individuals with insight into their interests and potential career paths.
‍
3. PROFILE INTERVIEW SESSION
‍
Using the completed Profile Interview Questionnaire as a starting point for their first one-on-one coaching session, the coach encourages students to explain their answers and think deeply about why they think or feel that way. In addition to helping us get to know the student from their own perspective and start their self-awareness journey, this session builds rapport and a foundation of trust before we take them through their psychometric profile.

4. WORKBOOK SESSIONS

In this two-hour session, Students receive a workbook which contains results from their personality, work styles, abilities, and career interests’ assessments along with a list of possible careers that suit people with those interests. The coach explains in detail what each area means, helping them understand their strengths and how their natural personality traits, tendencies and styles can be leveraged to help them succeed in their career.

5. RESEARCH AND ACTION PLAN SESSION

In their third and final one-on-one session, we discuss their research and test their thinking around which careers they believe are the right fit for them. Their coach helps them create a plan of attack and set goals and deadlines, so they know exactly where they are going, how they are going to get there and what extra steps are needed to achieve their goals.

6. THE RESULT

Students complete this coaching with significantly improved levels of self-awareness, confidence and purpose. They have a pathway and an action plan specifically tailored to them, that fits their personality, career interests and capabilities. Anxiety and stress is reduced, they feel in control of their future, they re-engage with school and actively take steps to transition through to tertiary and employment.

ONGOING CONTACT

Their coach remains available for questions and help as needed and will check in from time to time for updates on how the student is tracking with their goals, tertiary study and employment long after the coaching is complete.
