We help young people step out of school with clarity and confidence.

Swivel Careers is a global careers service that has worked with thousands of secondary and tertiary students, helping them choose careers they’ll thrive in for years to  come.

The organisation was started in New Zealand by Kate Ross, a successful entrepreneur and founder of Kinetic Recruitment, who believes that every young person should be able to find a career that they are passionate about:

‍

“I started Swivel Careers in 2017 after realising so many students had no idea what to do after school, dropped out of tertiary study, changed their course or even graduated still not knowing what career path to take. I wanted to change that, so we developed an innovative programme with skilled career coaching professionals to assist young people in discovering a career they will thrive in.”

‍

The job market is changing fast. The Swivel Careers team is on the pulse of what’s happening in the job market and what it takes to succeed in the workforce today. Young people today need to choose a career path that’s not only right for them now but will be relevant in years to come. On top of that, understanding all of the career options out there can be overwhelming.
‍

That’s where we come in!
‍

We combine expert one-on-one career coaching with industry-leading psychometric assessments to develop a detailed view of the student’s personality, strengths and ambitions so they can find a career they will enjoy and be successful in.

‍
Using the latest information on job markets and trends, we help students gain clarity on where they want to go and the confidence to get started. In addition, we have a number of group workshops that cover practical job search and workforce skills to help students get their first job and succeed at work.

Our experienced career coaches and facilitators are caring, passionate about what they do and highly attuned to students. They’re also business smart and well-connected with employers. An investment in career planning now can set young people on the right course for life!
