AQ Part 1, Part 2 and Specialist (Part 3) courses | Summer Session July 4-29
The Ontario School Counsellors' Association offers Additional Qualification Courses in Guidance and Career Education Parts I, II and Specialist (Part III) in Winter, Spring and Summer and Fall. OSCA's online, interactive courses are user friendly and allow real-time practice of the skills needed for the effective Guidance Teacher-Counsellor. We have a virtual classroom where we meet in real time to practice counselling skills, listen to guest speakers, and watch videos. This feature is very popular and it really makes OSCA's AQ experience prominent.
Education "I want to be a doctor," comes the familiar refrain. It won’t be the first or the last time you hear this, and it always comes with the same reasoning: "My parents recommended it." "Doctors make lots of money." "It’s a good job." "I like watching Grey’s Anatomy."
Any seasoned career guidance professional already knows how the rest of the session will go. The student will likely not be aware of the entry requirements, will not be able to tell you much about the nature of the work and will almost certainly not realize the many different types of doctor they could strive to be. With thousands of different opportunities to pursue in medicine alone, why are teenagers still aspiring to enter such narrow fields of employment without any real understanding of what it takes to work in that industry, or if it’s even something that would give them personal fulfilment? This problem begins much sooner than you think, and we all play a role in ensuring children today don’t face this same outcome in the future.  Does anyone at your company know how your latest employer branding campaign performed? If not, you may want to hire a marketing analyst — and you wouldn’t be alone.
Demand for marketing analysts grew faster than any other role in the first quarter of 2022, according to new LinkedIn job posting data. The number of paid job posts for marketing analysts nearly tripled (2.9x), relative to the final three months of 2021. As springtime comes to the Northern Hemisphere, we’re refreshing our lists of the most in-demand jobs and the jobs with the fastest-growing demand. Read on for the full rankings.
