Claire Pech – Careers Advisor

E-Zone 2017

This year I am trying a new format in our Annual Careers E-Zone Event. This is now my fourth Annual Emanuel Careers event and each year we tweak the format to see what engages students the most.

This year we have 22 Alumni Emanuel professionals to come in to School to showcase their industry knowledge and experience. Sonia Newell (Development officer) and I have secured speakers from a range of occupations including Archaeology, Sociology, Science, Engineering, Business, Finance, Real Estate, Media, Health, Music, Architecture, Teaching, Human Resources, Visual Arts to mention a few.

The speakers are coming in during Week 5 and Year 11 and Year 12 have completed choices of speakers. A snapshot of these speakers are below and we are really excited to host them here at Emanuel so our students can pick their brains about their current careers, how they got to where they are and what have been career high and low lights.
