Overview

During this session we focus on getting you to think about developing your career throughout your working life. These days people rarely have one career for life and their career rarely follows a straightforward path. People's lives are affected by many external as well as internal factors and we need to be able to adapt to this constantly changing world in order to have successful and fulfilling working lives.
