In this episode, Devon and Sarah-Jane chatted with Courtney Brooks, Case Manager, Employment and Social Services for the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.
As usual, talking about someone's career journey led to some great nuggets of information.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Using transfer credits to choose a university program so that it takes less time and costs less
- Finding the balance of competency at work and being challenged enough to land in the sweet spot of job satisfaction
- Using skills in ways you didn't expect - like using teaching, coaching and mentoring skills in a case management capacity, perhaps
- The struggles parents have to understand their kids' education options when the options are so different and more varied than they used to be
- Understanding that evolving as a person might make you better equipped to take on your dream role later in life, rather than landing in it as quickly as possible.
- The disconnect between high school courses and real work
Enjoy!
