Careers Week

2020年10月22日

Elementary School holds a Careers Week every year. During Careers Week, we have people from various professions visit to share their jobs with us. This year we had three guests give presentations on their jobs, the first was a Project Sustainability Manager in Australia, who talked about building projects he’s managed, which improve energy efficiency and the impact it has on the environment. The second person was from the Australian Consulate-General in Japan. She shared her wide experience across many different jobs over her 20 years there, from tour guide for famous visiting bands to liaison between Australian farmers and Japanese buyers. The third person was a reporter from the Kobe Shimbun newspaper, who taught us how to conduct an effective interview and practiced making headlines in 12 words or less. He taught us how to conduct effective interviews, so we practiced mock interviews and created headlines in 12 words or less. Students had the opportunity to ask our visitors many questions, including the schooling required to get into the profession and what their favorite part of their job is. We love Careers Week because it inspires students to think about their futures and introduces them to careers that are less familiar than mainstream jobs.
