2027 Seriously Ready: Free Post Year 12 Workshop at Canterbury College
As our Year 12 students prepare to complete their schooling, Canterbury College is pleased to be hosting the Brisbane event of the Seriously Ready National Tour, a free workshop designed to help school leavers navigate their next steps with confidence.
Presented by Alana Kilmartin, founder and author of Unserious Careers, Seriously Ready combines an inspirational presentation with practical workshop activities, helping young people approach life beyond school with greater clarity and confidence.
Whether students are planning to attend university or TAFE, enter the workforce, begin an apprenticeship, take a gap year, or are still considering their options, the workshop is designed to support students at every stage of their career planning.
What Will Students Explore?
Across three interactive sessions, participants will explore:
- Navigating uncertainty: Understanding the transition from school, managing expectations, and recognising that there is no single pathway to a successful career.
- Developing a career strategy: Learning practical approaches to career decision-making, identifying opportunities, and preparing for a changing world of work, including the influence of artificial intelligence.
- Planning their first year beyond school: Developing a personalised action plan for the first 12 months after graduation, with practical steps to help students move forward with confidence.
The workshop is particularly relevant for students who may be feeling uncertain about their ATAR results, concerned about making the right career decisions, or simply looking for inspiration and practical guidance as they prepare for their future.
Alana has presented to students at more than 300 schools across Australia and New Zealand, sharing her experiences and helping young people approach their careers with curiosity and a willingness to explore new opportunities.
