Your Choice! QLD NewGrads Social Workshop Event

This year is flying by, soon it’ll be December and perhaps like me, you may feel like you hadn’t quite made the changes you wanted to at the beginning of the year. Things like career planning and management strategies, better productivity and self-organisation habits, or incorporating reflective practice into your professional routine. It’s time to take control….have your say at the next ALIA (QLD) New Graduates event!

 

Topics to choose from are: –

• Career planning and management
• Productivity and time management
• Reflective Practice

Feel free to suggest a topic!

 

This event will be social but with a focus on sharing resources in the topic area, ideas, tips and experiences. Participants are encouraged to bring along books, copies of helpful articles, details of any upcoming courses and seminars, etc. This workshop is about bouncing thoughts and ideas off peers, gathering details of resources and learning from others to help kick start your planning and to take action in making adjustments to your professional development.

 

When: Wednesday 24th August, 6pm

Where: Plough Inn, Southbank

 

RSVP by Thursday 18th August for your say on the topic. Of course all RSVPs from this date are also welcome.

 

RSVP to: acrystelle@gmail.com with your topic preference.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Cheers!
