NorthStar Academy Presents: The Early Career Learning Program
This program is designed to guide you through the practical aspects of psychological practice. Dive into hands-on learning experiences, gain valuable insights into professional practice, and develop the proficiency necessary to excel in the dynamic field of psychology!
Bridge The Gap
We all start somewhere. However, many Provisional and Early Career Psychologists have had limited practical experience or, more extensive work experience without structured, in-depth training and supervision to develop and extend their skills. As a result, they don’t feel confident, competent or know how to get the best outcomes for their clients.
Developed to address these gaps, the NorthStar Academy’s sole purpose is to Nurture Clinicians to Improve More Lives.
Designed to bridge the gap between Uni and real practice, we have four 10-week modules to develop your practical skills so you can do your best work with clients.

How can you integrate what you've learned thus far in your studies, to enable you to practice effectively as a psychologist?
