Future Strokes Career Planning Programme
The Swim Ireland Athletes’ Commission, in conjunction with the Life Skills team from the Sport Ireland Institute, present the Future Strokes Career Planning programme!
This programme is designed to help athletes prepare themselves for the future and a life after sport.
Carol Keenan, Career and Life Skills Coach, will deliver three online workshops which are completely free of charge for Aquatics athletes covering the following topics:
- CV Interactive Workshop- 2nd November 11am-1pm
Use a CV template provided to complete a CV that shows all participant skills including transferable skills from swimming. The overall aim is to feel confident and identify areas in need of improvement.
- LinkedIn Workshop- 23rd November 11am-1pm
The aims for this session are to understand why and how to use LinkedIn to enhance your career e.g. key words to use, how to enhance your profile, how to network on LinkedIn, being aware of the platform settings and privacy. This session should make you feel confident on how to make the most of the platform.
- Job search and Future Planning Workshop- 30th November 11am-1pm
This session contains guidance on how to search for jobs, where to search as a graduate, what to be aware of when applying, and preparing for an interview. You will also look to developing a short term and medium-term plan. The overall aim is to feel more settled about the future and careers.
