We must move beyond jobs…
to skills.

You use research skills every day…
Scenario:
You are planning to meet your friends for lunch on Sunday.
You’ve been to all of the cafes in the city, so you decide to try
somewhere in the suburbs, however as you don’t drive, you
need to find a café near a train station.
Three of your friends live south of the River, so it needs to be
a southside suburb.
Two of your friends are vegan, so you will need to find a café
that serves vegan foods.
Where are you headed?

Time to chat:
How do you see yourselves using your research skills
in your real world, everyday lives?
How can you see research skills being useful beyond
your school assignments?
How might this approach to understanding research
change how you approach it in the future?

Thank you!
