Jane Westergaard
Held at the University of Ballarat, in SE Australia, the conference was hosted by the Careers Education Association of Victoria and Jane was invited after they heard her speak in Bangalore, India the previous year.
Jane‘s specialist area is personal learning and development through group work. This is a new concept in Australia and the large audience of careers teachers and advisers were keen to know more about this area of our work in the UK. Jane gave a Masterclass, spoke in several seminars and facilitated workshops on this topic, helping explain and illustrate its practice.
“It was fascinating to find out about the way careers work is handled in Australia”, said Jane. “I was made very welcome and the audience at the conference was extremely keen to try out all the group work ideas I shared with them.”
