Empowering Young Minds with the knowledge of their strengths.

Meet Katrina O’Kelly - Director & Founder of UniquePath

How UniquePath can help you?

Deciding what to do next can be overwhelming post school or post university, with so many options and complicated tertiary applications. It can be difficult to know where to start or what the best path is for you to take. At UniquePath our aim is to relieve the stress of these decisions and work through the many options on offer with young people. Often we hear young people say “I have no idea of what I want to do when I leave school” and parents just want to help but navigating the mind field of opportunties can be overwhelming. Using a combination of @GALLUP Strength Profiling and @Youth Motivational Mapping with either face to face on online meetings we get to know the “Unique you” to guide and empower your decision making for your post school to your UniquePath.
