SENIOR CYCLE CAREER GUIDANCE

For students who want to figure out what's next,

and parents who want to help them get there.

Most teenagers heading into 5th and 6th year are carrying a quiet weight. They’re asked to make decisions about college and careers before they’ve had the chance to figure out who they actually are.


Some freeze. Some pick something just to have an answer. Some feel like everyone else has it sorted except them.


They don’t need more pressure. They need the right conversations, the right questions, and someone who genuinely sees what they’re capable of.


That’s what I do.

"He was relieved and excited about what's next. I feel we can all breathe again."

It might be time to get in touch if...

 

  • Your teenager needs to make decisions about subjects, college or life after school and isn’t sure where to start
  • They’re overwhelmed by the options, or keep changing their mind and losing confidence
  • They’re lacking motivation or quietly dreading the “what are you going to do after the Leaving Cert?” question
  • You want to support them but don’t know how without adding to the pressure they’re already feeling
  • They think everyone else has it figured out except them


Any of these sound familiar?  You're in the right place.


The Careers Discovery Programme

for Senior Cycle Students

HOW IT WORKS

I've created a step by step process, which students' find engaging, yet can be adapted, for each client, to include:

  - working with a leading supplier of careers and aptitude tests to provide insights into why students should further explore key career areas

- using physical cards to help them identify their strengths, interests and values, which they often know but are unable to put into words themselves

- using advanced career coaching tools and techniques to help students become more aware of their unique strengths, interests and skills

- providing strategies and tips to investigate and prototype the identified career possibilities

- guiding students on next steps which may range from work placements, job / apprenticeship search and college or further education courses.  College isn't for everyone so we provide a range of options for after the leaving certificate.

- updating parents / guardians on outcomes from the consultation process along with a detailed report to guide further exploration and decision making

What parents say after working with me

“My daughter left her consultation today so happy and a completely different person coming out than going in. When I was invited to join the session I noticed the moment I walked into the office a different girl sitting forward in the chair and smiling broadly. You have in your career report provided her with clarity as to what she can do and have totally boosted her confidence for study and third level education again.”

“I was wondering about my own son starting 5th year. Was he picking the best subjects for him and was he understanding what it really meant to direct his choices in a way that best suited his abilities. I wasn't sure if he would take part in the process, but thankfully he did! The format itself was easy to follow and the results were very insightful. The end report is very comprehensive and really gives good direction for the next couple of years.”
