Mini Careers Expo
On Tuesday 25 July, the College will be holding a mini-careers expo in the Mary Sheil Centre. The Expo will start at 12.30pm with a keynote address for Year 12 students, by Di Flemming from Ducere Global Business School.
Di is hugely successful businesswoman having worked with Bill Gates and Microsoft to design the “classroom of the future”, and was previously named Telstra Woman of the Year.
She is the Executive Director of the Ducere Foundation, delivering education programs across 23 African countries and is also a special advisor to the Australian Foreign Affairs Minister on Africa relations. Previously Di was the Principal of Kilvington Grammar, Associate Professor at RMIT and has given countless keynote presentations around the world.
Di will be talking about the changing nature of the workforce, employability and innovation, with a particular reference to Australia’s most innovative degrees in entrepreneurship and creativity, the Global Game Changers degree.
Following this, Year 12 students will have the opportunity to discuss with alumni the varying career pathways they have undertaken since graduating from St Patrick’s College. This will then be followed by an opportunity for Year 11 and Year 12 students to discuss further study options with representatives from various university and private providers.
