The final day of the school will include a career journey discussion panel facilitated by Professor Janeen Baxter and include Professor Ariel Kalil (Daniel Levin Professor, University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy) and Professor Rebekah Levine Coley (Professor of Counseling, Developmental, and Educational Psychology and Director of the Institute of Early Childhood Policy, Boston College).

Some funding is available to assist with travel and accommodation expenses.
Participants are also encouraged to remain in Brisbane after the workshop to attend the International Life Course Conference.
