Success Skills

Success is a multifaceted concept, but it can be achieved through experiential learning, developing a strong sense of self-efficacy and understanding the relationship between learning and work. Through engaging with these concepts, students can better recognise their own capabilities and gain an understanding of how they can contribute to their own success by looking at topics such as resiliency, self-care, strengthening interpersonal skills and stress management.

OBJECTIVES: During each 75 minute sessions student will:

How do you define success?
Recognise the importance of experiential learning as as method of career research.
Demonstrate the relationships between learning and work.
Develop awareness of self-efficacy in skill attainment and career development.
Develop an understanding of self-efficacy and how believing in one’s ability to complete a task/research a goal can contribute to achieving success.
