Mega-trends, Emerging Opportunities and Future Proofing Careers December 13, 2012

This not-to-be missed half day workshop will look at the big trends redefining Australia and the impacts on career, worklife and the emerging generations. From technology saturation to demographic change, from generational transitioning to new communication channels, this session will outline emerging opportunities for senior school students in times of change, principles to guide employment decisions to future proof careers, and advice for parents, teachers and managers to motivate, guide and engage the emerging generations. Mark McCrindle is a social analyst with an international renown for tracking emerging issues, researching social trends and analysing customer segments. A regular commentator for prominent media channels, Mark's understanding of the key social trends as well as his engaging communication style places him in high demand in the press, on radio and on various television shows. His advisory firm counts amongst its clients more than 100 of Australia's largest companies and he is regularly commissioned to deliver strategy and advice to the boards and executive committees of some of Australia's leading organisations. His highly valued research and reports have developed his regard as an expert demographer, futurist and social commentator. Mark brings a fresh approach to his research based boardroom briefings, executive workshops, strategy sessions and keynotes. This course is suitable for Adults and students in Years 11 to 12.
