Student profile
Elizabeth Hamilton
Graduate Certificate in Career Education and Development
I currently work as a careers advisor, and love how people and ideas oriented this field is. The best thing about career development is that you can facilitate change in a very real and positive way.
When you hear from past clients, either seeing them walk across the stage at graduate having completed their degree or them telling you they just started their first job in their chosen field and they love it…this is what keeps my passion for career education and development strong.
I wanted to advance my skills in the area and gain a professional accreditation, and I chose RMIT because its course was flexible, well presented and had quality teaching staff.
Dennis Seo
Graduate Diploma in Career Education and Development
RMIT attracted me with its good course structure and how well the curriculum was presented. RMIT’s prestigious reputation and international rank also played a factor.
One of the best things about this course is that you can apply so many of the learnings in your everyday life. I found the techniques of planning and communication especially helpful to be used in work, study and social life.
There are very few important and rewarding jobs above helping people to find work that best suits them. You are guiding people to make informed, self-driven decisions about their career.
Barbara Wels
Graduate Certificate in Career Education and Development
I've had a varied career in the arts, originally trained as a middle school teacher and have always been into the idea of life-long learning.
I'm keen to work with young people again and career education appeals to me for a range of reasons. I believe that a satisfying working life and capacity to adapt are essential to our development, the quality of our lives and in turn, our society.
As an online course, the Graduate Certificate in Career Education and Development at RMIT has enabled me to maximise my learning in a flexible, realistic way that allows me to work around my family and other responsibilities.
