Overview

The APS hosts this activity with the APS Psychology & Ageing Interest Group (PAIG). 

This on-demand webinar recording is an opportunity for undergraduate and postgraduate students in psychology, as well as early career psychologists, to learn about the varied career pathways available when working with older adults.

Participants will hear from a wide variety of professionals with training in psychology about their experiences working with older adults, the diversity of experiences available in the field, and opportunities for junior psychologists.

The live webinar held a panellist Q&A session whereby participants of the live event had an opportunity to ask questions of the panellists about how they navigated their career pathway and advice they would have for junior psychologists now.
