      <image:title>Our Programmes - STUDENT / YOUNG ADULT CAREER COACHING</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Blue Goat Young Adult individual coaching is designed with the School Leaver or Young Adults in mind - if you are under 25 years old, this is probably the space for you. These sessions are highly personalised while being relaxed, fun and open for your to express your ideas. We create opportunities to explore all your career dreams, no matter how ridiculous that might seem to some people. But if you don’t get the chance to explore all your options, you might always feel a sense of “but I didn’t…. try”. During these individual sessions, we will facilitate you to understand the options available to you based on YOUR unique aspirations, goals, skills, personality, interests, motivation and values. You will learn the fundamentals of how to make the best career choices for you today, and apply those same principles throughout your career as you progress through different life stages. We work with school students who have not left school, university/TAFE/VET students who are unsure if they are in the right course, school leavers who simply haven’t found what they want to do, and parents who are supporting young adults in their choices.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Programmes - PROGRAMMES TO SUPPORT SCHOOLS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Blue Goat Careers works with schools, their guidance counsellors, careers advisors and teaching staff to provide flexible programmes and support designed to identify the unique needs of each individual student and help them learn to make confident and independent choices they are happy with. Evidence has shown that school children want more tailored career guidance earlier and more often. School career practitioners want more time and resources to meet these requirements. Employers are also indicating that school children are not sufficiently equipped to start work after school, for which work experience is a highly valued activity. A range of School Programmes are available and can be tailored to meet the needs of your students, your school, teachers and wider school community. We combine both individual support and a platform to master work experience opportunities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Young Adults - PARENT’S COACHING</image:title>
      <image:caption>As parents, we all want the best for our children. We can often see the challenges ahead, but aren’t able to find the best way to support and assist our young adults. Because of this unique challenge, we have designed a parents programme similar to the programme their child will undertake but with additional guidance about how parents can best work with their child. We will help identify what aspects of the support provided to your child are best managed from a parent or non-parent influence. Parents also gain the benefit of cross checking if they have mastered their own career decisions and use the principals of this programme. YOUR SESSION INCLUDES: Spend up to 1.5 hours exploring your young adults career decision making process. We will also address the personal dynamics of how to best work with your own child through this critical transition from dependent child to independent adult. PARENT COACHING SESSIONS: $250 per parent</image:caption>

This session is delivered without the child present to allow the parent to discuss and explore concepts in confidence. This program provides guidance to parents and and helps identify what aspects are and are not best to be managed from a non-parent influence. Parents also gain the benefit of cross checking if they have mastered their own career decisions with the same level of focus. YOUR SESSION INCLUDES: Spend up to 1.5 hours exploring your young adults career decision making process. We will also address the personal dynamics of how to best work with your own child through this critical transition from dependent child to independent adult. PARENT COACHING SESSIONS: $250 per parent</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I really want people to live happier lives! To be happy, you have to know and accept who you are, understand what you need in life, and then focus on pursuing those things. It is different and unique to each person. The sooner we start the exploration of who we are, the sooner we get to doing things that we can love, and have a better chance of hitting the target. “Become who you are by learning who you are.” Robert Greene</image:caption>

We want our clients to feel safe and secure, know that they are getting an honest and objective assessment of their situation, with considered and thoughtful support. GOATS are notorious for having absolutely hilarious levels of energy as kids, and amazing resilience to climb steep mountains as adults. From a youngster bouncing around having fun through to adult goats who climb steep mountains, goats have persistence and determination, especially when the going gets tough. They know that the view at the top of the mountain is always worth the climb. We want to help our clients have fun on their journey and achieve something that in the end, allows them to indulge in a strong sense of personal pride.</image:caption>

Each conversation will be adapted to meet your unique circumstances, and move as slowly or as quickly as you need through each area.</image:caption>
