The annual 麻豆视频 Careers Breakfast is the highlight of the old scholar calendar. We were fortunate to be able to host this event in person again this year, and as always it was a wonderful event for mentors and students alike.

1 July 2021

Supported by the 麻豆视频 Old Scholars Committee and now in its 10th year, the Careers Breakfast is a unique opportunity for students to meet and mingle with old scholars and parents who are working in the industries the students are interested in pursuing after graduation. At this year鈥檚 event held in DY Hall, 67 mentors and 130 students were in attendance and over breakfast questions were asked and career paths discussed. The industries represented on the day included medicine, engineering, social sciences and law, just to name a few!

The two 20-minute sessions allowed students to move from one industry to the next and gain valuable insight into career paths they may not have been interested in previously.

鈥�I was on the IT table for the first ses颅sion and was able to chat to some颅one who was in the cyber secu颅ri颅ty indus颅try. It wasn鈥檛 real颅ly a field that I was par颅tic颅u颅lar颅ly inter颅est颅ed in but, hav颅ing a chat with him, I devel颅oped an inter颅est in it and it鈥檚 some颅thing I want to look into.鈥�

For mentors it was a wonderful opportunity to inspire the next generation but also to catch up with each other! Many mentors knew each other either as classmates or from their previous involvement in the event.

鈥�The Pem颅broke careers break颅fast is a bril颅liant event that pro颅vides me with an oppor颅tu颅ni颅ty to speak with stu颅dents about my career jour颅ney post school. I wasn鈥檛 sure what I want颅ed to do after school. By shar颅ing the expe颅ri颅ence with stu颅dents I am able to pro颅vide them with reas颅sur颅ance they don鈥檛 have to have their life sort颅ed by the end of Year 12. Being an envi颅ron颅men颅tal颅ist isn鈥檛 com颅mon and I wasn鈥檛 aware my career path exist颅ed when I was at school. By shar颅ing my jour颅ney as an envi颅ron颅men颅tal颅ist I hope to inspire more young peo颅ple to feel empow颅ered to pur颅sue a unique career paths too.鈥�

This year first-time mentors joined us from industries such as defence, performing arts and architecture, and we hope that this variety of careers and mentors will help the senior students with their vocational choices in the future.

Thank you to all mentors in attendance on the day and we look forward to seeing you again at the next Careers Breakfast in 2022!
