Career Management
FutureSelves is a computerised questionnaire that provides software and skills to help counsellors, case managers, educationalists, and HR professionals in their work with people.
At the core of FutureSelves is the concept of "possible selves". These are the images, thoughts, feelings, and senses a person has about themselves in the future.
FutureSelves is a holistic tool that can help people identify their hopes and fears for the future including: career options, values and beliefs, skills and interests, relationships, and lifestyle. The graphical report provides the basis for an in-depth discussion, and the development of a plan towards tackling barriers, and the realisation of goals.
Accessing FutureSelves
The FutureSelves tool can be managed by an OPRA consultant, or by an accredited user.
OPRA Assessment Service: OPRA will setup the online tool, and facilitate a developmental discussion. Depending on the need, OPRA is available to build customised developmental plans for participants and meet one-to-one as required.
Managed by Accredited User: A FutureSelves accreditation course is available to users who would like to manage the process themselves, including online setup, through to development discussions with participants.
FutureSelves Benefits
Engages the participant, and speeds up the process of building a working alliance between consultant and participant.
Improves time effectiveness for busy consultants by quickly capturing comprehensive information.
Provides well-structured, easy-to-read graphic feedback that both consultants and participants can understand.
Captures unique aspects of the participant, thus avoiding the stereotyping of people and occupations that characterise some interventions.
Aids performance and motivation by encouraging the pursuit of goals, and addressing barriers to goal commitment.
Lends itself to ongoing research and development as a predictive tool.
User-friendly, web-based application that takes approximately 15 minutes to complete.
The graphical output from the FutureSelves tool is intended to support focused dialogue between a participant and consultant with regards to an individual's hopes and fears for the future, as well as the perceived likelihood of these hopes or fears becoming a part of the future. FutureSelves does not categorise people; instead, it provides a whole-of-life perspective.

Online Training (3-4 hours): Online training includes self-guided learning, with telephone support from a FutureSelves consultant.
