Thank you!
A big thank you from the Careers and Employment Service for participating in our sold out Speed Networking Event on the Monday 19 May and Tuesday 20 May nights!
We have had a solid response from our industry guests who have emphasized how keen they are to get more involved with you all and to share more about their companies, career pathways, and general insights into the industries. Many of our guests were graduates of William Angliss Institute (WAI) and enjoyed being able to share their experiences and pathways since graduating from WAI.
We would love to share some of the feedback we received from our industry guests, below.
Highlights
“Being able to offer assistance to students who aren't sure what the next step is, and to provide more precise information to others.”
“The opportunity to view the William Angliss facilities and meet with the students.”
“The speed networking style of students swapping over every 10 or so minutes.”
“Going back to WAI...and memories of when I was there! Try to be as helpful as possible to the next generation of students coming through. Hopefully they gained some knowledge or wisdom to help them.”
Suggestions for next time
We received some fantastic constructive advice from our industry guests that we think will be beneficial for your next networking event!
> Research the companies attending
> Prepare questions to ask industry attending
> Remember, the key message of a networking event is to network; this is not the forum to expect immediate results and jobs. These events are for you to establish your networking connections; recognise that these professionals may be your future employer or colleague!
