This talk, "Empowering Futures: Effective Careers Advising in International Schools," explores best practices and innovative strategies for guiding students toward successful futures. We address challenges like diverse student populations, rapidly changing job markets, and balancing academic and career guidance. Key practices include developing comprehensive career programs, personalising guidance, leveraging technology, and fostering collaboration. Innovative strategies such as career-related programs, industry partnerships, alumni networks, and soft skills development are essential. Career advisors play a pivotal role in providing one-on-one counselling, information dissemination, skill development, and building relationships. Case studies from Deira International School illustrate the impact of these practices.
