In the rapidly changing world of work, young people will need to continually develop the skills to become their own career managers. At the end of March, over 300 Senior School families and students from across the College attended the annual Careers Expo hosted at our Glen Waverley Campus.
Students had the opportunity to speak to representatives from several tertiary institutions about the different courses and study options available and meet Wesley alumni currently working in their fields of interest.
For Abi (Year 11), the Careers Expo exceeded her expectations. ‘I got a lot more information than I was expecting and the representatives from each of the universities were helpful and very informative,’ she said.
‘I really enjoyed talking to the Wesley alumni because it reassured me that I could change subjects and still stay on track. I also learnt that I’ll have multiple careers throughout my lifetime, so if I don’t know what I’m doing now, it’s okay, I have time to decide’.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the Wesley College alumni and OWCA who generously gave their time to share their career journeys with our current cohort.
