Careers On Speed Dial For Ingham High Students

Year 10 students at Ingham State High School recently had the opportunity to explore a wide range of career pathways during the school’s annual Speed Careers event.

Fourteen local industry representatives generously gave their time to speak with students in a series of fast-paced six-minute sessions. The “speed careers” format allowed students to meet with several professionals in a short amount of time, asking questions about different jobs, training requirements and career journeys.

Business owners, tradespeople and professionals shared valuable insights into their industries and spoke openly about the pathways that led them to their current roles. For many students, the experience opened their eyes to opportunities they had not previously considered and reinforced the message that there are many different paths to success.

Ingham State High School extends its sincere thanks to the local community members who generously shared their knowledge and experiences. Their guidance will be invaluable as students begin navigating their career choices over the coming years.
