How do I complete this programme?
You will receive a workbook with four modules, with each lesson and module building upon the previous one. There are three options for completing this programme. The first is to join our workshops online where we go through the workbook together and I will spend individual time with each person to ensure you are getting personalised one on one time. The second option is to complete the course one on one with Joanne. The third is that periodically we will run in-house workshops either on weekends or school holidays. Dates will be posted to the website for these.

What People Are Saying
Our clients' success speaks volumes.
"Jo is very skilled at accurately providing an insightful analysis of your character and skills, and how that may link to your career. The programme works best if you are honest with yourself, and luckily the questions encourage you to dig deep into your core values and motivations. This course can benefit all types of people, no matter how sure or unsure you are about your career path. I would say that it is especially valuable for those who have given little thought to their career and dont know where to start, and/or to those who are struggling with making plans and decisions about their career and want a clearer direction. Overall this programme was a great tool for planning, self-evaluation and clarity."

"Thank you Joanne for the advice and encouragement my daughter received during the online careers workshop. She thoroughly enjoyed the workshops and connecting with other students, and you were able to open her mind to new career paths, while giving her the tools to be able to research different options. I have never seen her so excited abouther future! "
Parent of year 11 student.
"I came to Jo for direction and career advice part way through my gap year. I had graduated high school with UE but had no idea what I wanted to do at university or career wise. Jo helped me find my path without being patronising or condescending. Her experience and skills were integral to my admission into university. I went from not wanting to go to university at all, with no idea what I wanted to do, to enrolled and accepted into my first-choice course within 4 sessions with Jo. She was able to guide me towards my path without being pushy or overbearing. She was an excellent influence on me and genuinely changed my life. I am incredibly happy that I was able to access Jo’s services. She was so genuine in getting to know me and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing guidance or career advice."
