Career Prospects
Job prospects for mediators are strong. We live in an increasingly litigious society, and mediation is becoming increasingly popular as an efficient and cost-effective way to resolve disputes. As a result, this profession is expected to continue experiencing above average growth in employment.
Not only this, but a recent “30 Best Careers” ranking report found that mediators performed very well based on prestige, pay and job satisfaction, as well as forecast job growth.
Most mediators are employed by:
As a mediator, you will support people through difficult situations, helping them to work collaboratively towards a mutual solution that eases the pain and pressure of a relationship ending. Whether you work primarily with divorcing couples or the breakdown of corporate agreements, you’ll be integral in helping participants to pick up the pieces and move on to a new chapter.One of the key benefits of mediation as opposed to other forms of conflict resolution is the capacity for privacy that court-based methods don’t allow. As a result, more and more disputes are turning to mediation to try to solve things rather than going straight to court.
Mediators can be employed by a wide range of businesses such as:
- Local and national governments
- Schools, universities and other educational institutions
- Legal service providers
- Insurance companies
- Mediation and arbitration corporations
As a mediation graduate, you could even start your own business as a freelance mediator and enjoy the financial benefits of being your own boss. Alternatively, you could use your mediation skills in a variety of other job roles, including:
- Management
- Customer service
- Sales
- Counselling and psychology
- Education
- Law enforcement
- Key negotiating roles
Dispute resolution and conflict management are key skills to have in any role in the workplace. Whether you choose to go into mediation or another field, these transferable skills will help to set you apart from other candidates and enhance your confidence in navigating communications between colleagues and clients.
