INNOVATIVE CONSCIOUS CAREER DAYS
NURTURE YOUR FUTURE TALENT AND HELP THE NEXT GENERATION
OF EMPLOYEES AND POTENTIAL LEADERS.
The future for young people is fraught with uncertainty with forecasters predicting that 60% of the jobs young people will perform do not yet exist. Very few educational institutions are offering a solution to this dilemma facing our businesses and economy, so how can you help prepare young people for their future?
Conscious Connections offers an Innovative Conscious Career Day where students get the opportunity to explore their individual strengths and contributions when working in a team, using The Young People Index® tool, as well as exploring their unique leadership approach and values.
Students and business leaders will also have the opportunity to network with each other, speed dating style, and discuss potential opportunities and required skills for the future on entering business.
Business owners will get the chance to nurture future talent, talk about their individual businesses and discuss what ‘organisational fit’ and ‘culture’ is for them and why this is important. This should improve the chances of finding the right young people and retaining them.
Research shows that a young person who has 4 or more encounters with an employer is 86% less likely to be unemployed or not in education or training, and can earn up to 18% more during their career (Careers & Enterprise Company, 2018).
Preparing young people for the future in a way that motivates them to aim high, achieve good results and gives them a clear direction in their lives, must be a priority for the coming years.
Our innovative Conscious Career Day will provide far more opportunities for inter-activity with the students than regular Careers Day events. We believe this is an important way forward in preparing young people for a future workd world that has become difficult to predict.

During the afternoon, students will have opportunities for meaningful interactions with business leaders.
