Keynote Presentation Living an Unexpected Life: Practical Tools for Working with Clients of all Ages Experiencing Change, Chance and Transition in a Changing Economic Landscape Professor Jim Bright, Professor of Career Education and Development, School of Education, Australian Catholic University, Owner Bright and Associates Career Management. We live in uncertain times. Increasingly our careers are characterised as much by the changes we experience as by the stability we have previously relied upon when developing career plans. Our world has become dramatically more interconnected and the reality is that we live as and within complex systems that change continuously and sometimes dramatically and unpredictably. Attempting to make long-range career forecasts are as likely to be as accurate as long-range weather forecasts. In other words not very accurate at all! If the Career Development profession is to rise to the challenge of change, chance and transition we need to embrace new ways of assisting others to navigate the complexity of their lives. The Chaos Theory of Careers (Pryor & Bright, 2011) provides a new framework and language to understand people and their careers in all of their complexity. It also provides some practical tools to help individuals appreciate that concepts such as Opportunity Awareness, Luck Readiness, Adaptability, Change Perception, Creativity and Planfulness (as opposed to plans) are essential in accepting, confronting and capitalising on complexity. In this keynote Jim will provide an overview of some of the promising practical approaches to using the Chaos Theory of Careers with a wide range of clients.

Michelle was awarded the 2013 AFL Football Women of the Year and the 2014 Department of Sport and Recreation AFL Coach of the Year.

Keynote Presentation: How the Internet Changed Career Professor Tristram Hooley, University of Derby, UK In this keynote, Professor Tristram Hooley will discuss how the growth of the internet has changed almost everything about the way in which individual's careers work. He will argue that the internet provides a new context for career building and that we need to learn new skills and rethink some of our old career management skills in order to make the most of this environment. There are many dangers in this new environment, but there are also many opportunities and this presentation will address both the good and the bad (and the ugly) of online career building. It will also ask questions about how the role of career professionals is changed by this new environment.

Keynote Presentation: Navigating an Excellent Career in the Cyclic Mining Industry – An Adventure. Kate Sommerville, AMC Consultants There is a mining career to suit many types of skills and abilities: trades; operators; hospitality; security; medical; professional, and management. Each mine site is its own fully formed community. It can be an adventure, an excellent way to earn a living and be incredibly rewarding producing materials that society needs. It can easily take new and mature entrants. The industry is cyclic and has its challenges that can potentially deter potential entrants into the industry. Selecting a role that appeals is the first step. Other particular elements include understanding the importance of health and safety, managing shift work and remote rosters. Resilience also requires entrants to be financially astute to enable weathering the cycle. A focus over the last number of years is to encourage more women into the industry and especially into leadership roles. It’s especially important for career advisors to be mindful of unconscious bias when guiding clients. The concept of unconscious bias will be expanded upon for what it means in mining. There are established tools for managing career interruptions and transitions. These concepts will be illustrated by examples and stories from more than 20 years in the mining industry and reinforce advice given that career advisors can utilise.
