February 2024

Supporting First Nations Kids Toward Career Success: A Conversation with Tracy Ryan.

Wednesday, 13 March, 1:00pm – 2:00pm (AEDT)

What does a "good job" really mean for our kids? As parents and carers, our aspirations for them often encompass high-paying and reputable careers. However, for First Nations children, the journey towards professional success is uniquely challenging. They frequently grapple with the task of integrating their rich cultural heritage with the demands and expectations of their educational institutions, workplaces, and broader Australian society.

On behalf of myfuture.edu.au, ACSSO is excited to inform you about this enlightening webinar with Tracy Ryan, an esteemed Educational Designer specialising in First Nations education. Scheduled for Wednesday, 13 March, from 1:00pm to 2:00pm (AEDT), this session aims to delve into the complexities and nuances of what success means within First Nations communities.

Tracy Ryan brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, offering invaluable insights into the cultural values of First Nations communities, particularly in the realms of education and employment. This event is not just a talk but a 'yarn' - an opportunity for an open, heartfelt conversation. It's about understanding the diverse perspectives on success and how these can be harmoniously integrated into our children's career paths.

Tracy's discussion will also provide practical ideas for how parents and carers can assist First Nations children in envisioning, planning, and achieving careers that are fulfilling both personally and for their community. It's about empowering these young minds to find a path that respects and incorporates their cultural values while achieving professional success.

This event promises to be an eye-opening experience for parents, carers, educators, and anyone interested in supporting the career success of First Nations children. It's an opportunity to learn, share, and grow together, fostering a future where cultural identity and professional achievement go hand in hand.
