Transitioning from high school to university always includes challenges, but leaving one’s home country to attend a university in another country has immense implications for the career path of the individual. The potential alienation, isolation, and culture shock impact young people dramatically at a time when they are making key decisions about where to study and work. We will explore the effect of the immigrant experience on young people, including ideas and discussion about how best to advise and prepare them to factor these social and cultural considerations into their choices and navigate their new contexts once they have made their transition. This will be an interactive webinar, so if you have tips or experience that our community might find helpful, please be prepared to share and discuss!

Based on our new and free book on Holland’s Theory, this session will re-introduce attendees to Holland’s Theory and attempt to “squeeze” the theory a bit by discussing the theory’s depth and specificity beyond its typical application. This interactive webinar will also highlight unique applications of Holland’s Theory around the globe. We will discuss how the theory can be used to match with potential occupations but also address fit in current work as well as other life roles such as romantic partners and hobbies. Elevating work with clients through the use of Holland-informed assessments will be presented. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gFK5dJpN
