On Thursday May 25 we will be running our second ‘Careers Future Insights’ Event in the IRC. It will run from 3.30pm to 5.30pm and will be open to students and parents from years 9-12.

At this stage we have 7 speakers who have completed a range of University courses coming to speak. They will introduce themselves to the group and highlight the key aspects of their course/career and will then be part of an open-table discussion with interested students. They will be placed in different areas of the IRC and students and parents can speak with those that they wish to individually or as a small group. This gives the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have about their course or the careers that they now have. The speakers currently attending are:

Taryn – Bachelor of Criminology/Masters of Public Policy now working as a Graduate Policy Officer with the Victorian Department of Health
Georgia – Bachelor of Arts/Masters of Social Work now working as an Antenatal Social Worker with Star Health Group
Jasmine – Bachelor of Business (Marketing) now working as Marketing Coordinator at the St Kilda Football Club
Aaliya – Bachelor of Pharmacy – still studying but working as a Pharmacy Technician with Monash Health
Nadia – Juris Doctor (Law) -recently graduated. Currently working as an Electorate Officer with the Parliament of Victoria.
Genevieve – Bachelor of Professional Communication now working as a Lifestyle and Careers Columnist for Fashion Journal
Jemima – Masters of Architecture now working as a 3D Modeler at Land Surveys

We will be running a third event in August which will have a further range of speakers. These events offer an opportunity for students to learn more about specific courses and careers. Hearing first-hand from someone in the role is invaluable as is the opportunity to ask questions you have been wanting to ask for a long time. Even if this is not a career you think you might wish to do, this is a great way to find out more. I strongly advise senior students to attend.
