Claire Pech, Careers Advisor

We are delighted to be hosting our annual Careers Space event on 21 May 2019. This year we have made Careers Space a bigger event to widen the topics of interest.  

We have 35 alumni coming to speak to our Years 11 and Year 12 students, covering six different topics: Business and startups; STEM; people professions; tertiary studies and a varied stream. All students were surveyed prior to this event on their choices. We have managed to get 100% of students with their first preference.

All students will be rotating over three periods to be part of the Q&A panel discussions, where they can ask the panellists about their career trajectory. I encourage all students to turn up, ready with questions to engage in the panel discussions. All of the sessions are now on students’ timetables in Edumate, so they can come ready prepared. 

Following the information sessions we will have a mingling session for students to interact with all presenters. Year 12 students will then attend a presentation by a LinkedIn professional, also an alumnus, who will speak to them about the power of LinkedIn.

We look forward to welcoming all of the speakers and are so grateful that they are going to share their time, energy and stories with our current students.
