MEDIA RELEASE - AUSTRALIA’S FIRST CAREER SPA LAUNCHES
Brisbane, 3 March 2008Residential career development program, Career Spa Renewal, to help participants focus on 2008 career choices and work/life balance
Australia’s latest career development program for corporate executives of all ages was launched today in Brisbane. Unlike the majority of career counselling sessions, Career Spa™ is based on a different format. The two day residential program, Career Spa Renewal, facilitates an environment where people can assess their career path to date and work with qualified consultants to better plan their future needs. Career Spa is currently available in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and will be launched nationwide throughout 2008.
According to the Founder of Career Spa, Ms. Wanda Hayes, this is a unique opportunity for individuals to uncover the purpose and direction in their working lives.
“The Career Spa Renewal program is a specifically tailored two day residential program to ensure that our attendees are not interrupted and it allows them to simply focus on themselves and their careers. This is often the biggest issue that many people face – making the time to re-assess where they have come from and where they want to go versus where they are heading,” she said.
Career Spa is designed for a wide audience, ranging from young executives that have established a career but are lacking current direction, to workers in their 40’s, 50’ and 60’s seeking guidance on career planning, re-employment and career coaching for those lost in their work.
Renewal group sizes are limited to no more than six people per Career Spa consultant. The professionally qualified team of Career Spa consultants meet with participants prior, during and following the residential program to discuss the unique situation and needs of every attendee. All participants have complimentary access to the Career Spa online community.
Hayes continued, “For many people work is an integral component of how we create our sense of self. If your career is excelling then it does enhance your life and how you feel about everything. If it isn’t going to plan, then it can have negative ramifications for many aspects of your daily life – and those around you,” she said.
Career Spa Renewal costs AUD$1500 per person for the two day residential program and this includes accommodation, meals as well as a full 2-day career development program.
Career Spa will also be offering a full range of career development courses including:
- Introducing Me – update the way you present yourself to prospective employers and take ‘self-marketing’ to an entirely different level.
- Choices & Changes – the program for people facing imminent change in their working lives.
- Just for Me – one-on-one career counselling to facilitate individuals to think and act differently.
