Esperance Careers Conference

I woke up at 5am on Wednesday morning to catch my 6.30 flight to Esperance. The Esperance Local Community Partnership had organised a Careers Conference for Year 10 students, which I MC'ed. The students of three surrounding schools attended and it was filled with information and ideas on getting your dream job.

In the morning, I ran a Goal-setting workshop, so students could get focused on what they wanted from school, work and life in general. Then the LCP organised about 30 different business owners and professionals to come and share their experience on getting a job that they enjoyed. In the afternoon, there were sessions on life skills such as communication, stress management and attitudes.

At the end of the day, we had a quick quiz going over some of the information that we had learnt - giving away many of the National Youth Week merchandise!

I was able to have a quick drive along Esperance's beautiful coastline before jumping back on a plane to Perth that evening. It was a whirlwind trip to Esperance, but a worthy event to participate in. Well done to the LCP for such a creative and engaging event!
