Do you want a new career you love and feel good about doing every day?
It used to be that you choose an occupation after high school and stay in it for life. Now it’s common for people to have several careers in their lifetime. And what we are seeing more than ever is that career changes are possible at any stage.
There are many reasons for changing your career. You may need more flexibility, have occupational burnout, or need a higher salary. You might decide you want a job that matters more to you – combining the daily grind with making a positive impact.
There’s something special about harnessing what you want out of life and starting a new role with meaning. Rosebud resident Dale Carroll, pictured, did just that when he started a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education at Chisholm Institute.
Dale’s previous roles had him in the community helping vulnerable people, so he knew the impact just one person could have on others. “I want to give back and provide support to other local families,” he said. “It’s a positive way I can work and add value to my community.”
Dale’s own life experiences helped him in his course. Since graduating with high praise from teachers and peers at Chisholm, he now works as an educator at a local kinder.
His advice to anyone thinking about retraining for a career with meaning is simple: “Accept the challenge and go for it. You will be pleasantly surprised at how much you can contribute.”
A meaningful career can improve your mental health and work-life balance. It can uplift communities, and the effects can see positive change in industries and beyond. With a natural push to spend their lives doing something that matters to them, Chisholm sees students at many stages embark on new qualifications.
