What Students Are Saying About Path Finder Program
📝 BEST SUITED UNIVERSITY COURSE
Dr Kennedy’s expertise and advice greatly assisted me to navigate my career choices as I finished high school. He equipped me with a greater understanding of my own preferences and the process required when choosing an appropriate university degree. His help provided clarity during an uncertain period of my life - the time between year 12 and university. Dr Kennedy helped me choose a university course best suited to my own abilities and passions. I am now 18 months into my Bachelor of Arts/ Bachelor of Law degree at Macquarie University and I am thoroughly enjoying it thus far. I would highly recommend Dr Kennedy as a career counsellor to any unsure students as it will help you make decisions that will ensure success in the future.

📝 BEST SUITED UNIVERSITY COURSE
I found the after-high school landscape very overwhelming because I knew had strengths, but I didn’t know where to apply myself to reach my potential. I began a course at university, but I knew it wasn’t right for me. At the suggestion of Dr Kennedy, I took the Strong Interest Inventory. The subsequent Profile has been incredibly helpful in setting me on the right foot towards my future. As I embark on further studies, I use the Strong Interest Inventory Profile as a reference to ‘recalibrate’ and know that I am using my skills in the best way. It’s amazing that as I explore new hobbies and interests, it all lines up with the Strong, which just goes to show the accuracy and durability of the Profile. No matter the stage of life, it is a resource I’ll find useful forever.
