THE TRIPLE ‘A’ CAREERS PROGRAM
Therefore, to make it easier for the student & the parents to understand the process of acquiring this information, the skills, & ultimate confidence with respect to their career searching we have devised the simple, yet extremely effective:
Triple ‘A’ Careers Program
Each Level relates to a different phase of the Careers process, i.e.,
Level 1 – The Assessment Phase
Level 2 – The Achievement Phase
Level 3 – The Application Phase
GOLD LEVEL: THE ASSESSMENT PHASE Summary: This phase of the overall Careers Analysis guides students through the career decision process using carefully designed questionnaires, resulting in detailed profiles & lists of suitable career options for each student.
The programs cover, education, occupational interests, abilities, skills & factors affecting job satisfaction. All clients receive a personal profile, a list of suitable job suggestions & useful reports to take away. Each job comes with a description & personal pros & cons relating to the individual. Action Planning helps develop career ideas into practical strategies.
DIAMOND LEVEL: THE ACHIEVEMENT PHASE Summary: It is important for an individual to be aware of which career options are suitable for him/her, however, it is a challenge if there are practical obstacles which limit them achieving their career goals, e.g., goal setting strategies, time management concerns, structuring of assignments, studying techniques, etc. This phase will enable the student opportunities to develop these skills.
PLATINUM LEVEL: THE APPLICATION PHASE Summary: Once the capable student has acquired their academic qualifications they are then required to impress Tertiary Institutions, Employers & Company Boards of their abilities & prowess. Along with their academic grades & personality, this phase will give the student skills to assist them to acquire the position they deserve.
