Alumni are back to illuminate Y12 career path
Bishop’s Alumni and Industry Specialists Illuminate Career Paths for Year 12 Students in a Career Sector Morning
As part of the Year 12 Careers Programme, we were thrilled to welcome back a group of our talented former Bishop’s students who are now in successful careers, along with other industry specialists, to share their knowledge and insights during a Sector Morning.
Our alumni community is diverse, with former students excelling in fields ranging from pharmaceuticals and hospitality to media and finance. The event provided a unique opportunity for our current students to engage with professionals who have walked the same halls and are now thriving in their respective careers.
An Informal, Insightful Session
The morning was designed as an informal conversation carousel, where alumni rotated through groups of students, explaining their career paths and offering invaluable advice on how to break into various key sectors. It was a collaborative, engaging format that encouraged open dialogue and allowed students to ask questions and gain practical tips directly from those who had once been in their shoes.
Career Tips and Essential Skills
A key part of the event was the advice shared by our alumni on the skills that helped them succeed and ‘what they wish they’d been told’ when they were in school. This candid exchange was not only insightful but also served as an inspiration for students, helping them to better understand the steps they can take now to shape their own career journeys.
Welcoming Alumni Back into the Bishop’s Family
We are always excited to reconnect with our alumni and celebrate their achievements. It is incredibly rewarding to see former students return to Bishop’s to inspire and guide the next generation. Our alumni are a vital part of our school community, and their success stories motivate our students to dream big and aim high.
