Original PromptI have to take a 1 hour session for 11th 12th students. The students are coming to visit my university as a part of their summer school program. The session can be on career counselling and basic motivation.
This facilitator guide is structured for a session focused on university exploration, aiming to help students articulate their personal career interests and develop a preliminary action plan for their post-secondary goals. The session introduces the concept of intersectionality in career choices and engages students through interactive activities that normalize exploration and identify barriers to success. Activities include the Passion Poll, which assesses clarity of career paths and encourages participation from all students, along with discussions that foster a safe environment for peer engagement. The guide emphasizes growth mindset, promoting the idea that university serves as a catalyst for personal and professional development. Facilitators are encouraged to guide students in identifying their interests, skills, and values, helping them create specific, actionable goals for their academic careers. The session wraps up with reflections on future steps and establishing a connection with personal aspirations.
