Overview

The APS Brisbane Area Branch is pleased to invite members to an upcoming Speed Mentoring event to be held at Sixes and Sevens Bar Fortitude Valley Brisbane. This is a Speed Mentoring event aimed at psychologists at all career stages and will enable them to connect with experts from diverse psychology specialties and academic backgrounds.

Speed Mentoring is like speed dating, but instead of meeting potential partners, you can meet with people working in a range of roles and areas of psychology. For example, people who run their own successful business or whole organisations, business or organisation psychology roles, school counselling or educational roles, research or policy development roles, and those working in universities, various public sector roles such as hospitals, and non-government organisations.
