Senior School Career Expo Here's what you thought of Career Expo "A good range of careers covering subjects and jobs I never knew about or at least never thought of pursuing" "Really good...lots of different industries and universities" "It was amazing!" "Enlightening to say the least and very useful in helping me to choose my subjects" "Very informative and useful" "It opened my mind to other opportunities" "Being able to talk to industry people gave me a better understanding of the careers available"
Plenty of 'food for thought' at Career Expo WEDNESDAY, 15 August 2007 may have been cold and miserable outside but it was 'hot and happening' in the Performing Arts Centre. The 2007 annual All Saints' College Career Expo was bigger and more successful than ever before. Students, parents and presenters were all thrilled with the comprehensive career expo and the great sense of atmosphere and excitement at the event. There were more than 70 presenters, almost 40 booths and plenty of 'food for thought' regarding future career pathways. All of Perth's public and private universities were represented as well as TAFE. The Police and Defence Forces, WA Aviation College, Australian Institute of Holistic
Medicine, Hospitality and Tourism, Choice One and many other specialist institutions were also available to discuss and offer alternative pathways to university or TAFE. A highlight this year was the number of professional associations in attendance. The College was pleased to welcome representatives from skills shortage industries such as Finance (Chartered Accountant Association), Engineering and Health. Another valuable addition this year was the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and Regional and Urban Planning. One fulfilling aspect of this year's Expo was the increasing number of College parents and former students offering themselves for the evening. Each of these presenters extolled the
positives and negatives of their personal career choices which ranged from Law, Veterinary Science and Social Work to Community Development, Engineering, Hospitality and Financial Planning. More importantly they illustrated to students the importance of careful research before making subject choices. Feedback from all who attended the Expo confirmed that the evening was hugely worthwhile and an ideal arena in which to make post-secondary planning and career pathway choices. We look forward to the 2008 Career Expo and promise it will be worth a visit.
