Explore practical strategies to manage work and education, so you don’t have to choose between the two.
During a recent careers livestream, a participant shared a challenge faced by many trying to balance work and education commitments. Let’s call them Jamie. Jamie was finding it hard to juggle a demanding work schedule alongside ongoing studies. The stress of fitting job hours around courses and assignments was becoming overwhelming.
In the livestream, we explored several options to ease this pressure. We discussed the possibility of adjusting work hours and checking for more flexible course timings that could better fit Jamie’s schedule. A key recommendation was to review their employer’s flexible working and study leave policies and to have an open conversation with their supervisor about temporary adjustments to support their education.
Jamie took this advice and talked to their employer. As a result, they were provided with time off to focus on studies without losing their job, allowing them to continue progressing academically while maintaining employment. This solution made it possible to manage both responsibilities effectively and reduce stress.
