2021 Careers Expo By Mr Ian Pomeroy and Mr Anthony Murphy
Careers Education Team
The Careers Expo is an important part of the school’s careers education for our senior students in
Years 10, 11 and 12.
The idea of hearing about the daily routines of professionals in a variety of jobs can be a very informative process in their decision making. Following on from the successful format of 2020 and due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s Careers Expo was a virtual experience. Interviews were held with people from many different careers with many different backgrounds, with the total number of workplace interviewees being extended to over 25. This allowed students to hear from an even wider range of people from workplaces and industries than was possible in 2020. From those in the medical field to a career diplomat, from biochemistry to business and law, the students were asked to watch several interviews and reflect on what they had learnt about how to enter that field and the pathways each of the participants took to get where they are today. We would like to extend our thanks to the many friends and parents of AISHK who gave up their time to share their career journey and insights from the world of work with our students.
