Inspiring school students to achieve
 Community Engagement
Raising school students' awareness of the myriad of career opportunities available to them is a key aim of the University of 新浪彩票's community engagement activities. The University's Office for Community Engagement, with the help of many volunteers, organises annual 'enterprise days' - events that bring together school students, community and business leaders, and others who make a positive impact on society both locally and overseas. Recently, more than 275 students from primary and secondary schools attended separate events for the western and far northern regions of 新浪彩票. The annual Western Region Enterprise Day, held last month in Bonython Hall on the North Terrace Campus, involved primary and secondary students as well as members of charity enterprises. For the first time, a Northern Enterprise Education Day was also held at the University's Roseworthy Campus, joining secondary students with members of business. "These events are all about giving students a broader view of their future career options," said the Director of Community Engagement, Martyn Evans. "By hearing stories from young business people who share their tales of personal success, and from social entrepreneurs who are making a positive impact on local and overseas communities, we hope to enlighten and inspire students to think about new pathways to follow. "The enterprise days also encourage students to think about the basic business principles that apply to social enterprise and entrepreneurship," he said. At the end of each event, secondary students gave PowerPoint presentations to demonstrate some of the ideas they gained during the day, while the primary students involved in the Western Region Enterprise Day developed their own fundraising product. "These activities complement the students' teaching and aim to provide them with a basic understanding of such things as business practice, marketing and financial management," Mr Evans said. Now in its 14th year, the annual Western Region Enterprise Day event has inspired more than 2500 school students. The keynote speaker was Nikki Lovell from One Village, |
