Head of People and Culture at Kapitol Group | HRD Australian HR Manager of the Year 2022 | Non Executive Director
Last week we had the privilege of attending a Future Talk event hosted by The Smith Family at Manor Lakes College. The event was designed to give Year 10 students exposure to a range of industries as part of National Careers Week. What I loved about this event is that it was framed around story telling. We told our career stories and why we love what we do to small groups of students, who then had the opportunity to ask us questions about our chosen career path and industry. Each group of students rotated through 15 different industries from construction to agriculture to Vic Police. The best question I was asked was ‘how did you manage money when you first started working and what advice or support did you get to understand how to manage money?’. I think this highlights that there’s a role for schools and unis to play in helping students understand how the world works and basic life skills that they may not learn at home. Hopefully we sparked some interest in students studying Construction Management! #careers #construction #storytelling
Thanks, Alice Hanna, for supporting our Work Inspirations and Career Activity Programs. Your support is greatly appreciated!
There is such a need to have managing finances in our schools. There is a significant amount of stress students feel about financing their futures.
Thank you for participating Alice Hanna! The students love these events. 😍
Thanks so much for getting involved Alice!
