At the ONU Careers evening, over fifty Old Boys volunteered their time to advise senior students and share their career knowledge, insights and personal experience. Old Boys represented a wide range of professions from Accounting, Architecture and Constructions/Property Development to Marketing and Medicine. The wealth and breadth of expertise on the night, for the benefit of our boys, was invaluable.

The one-to-one advice expo setting promotes a valuable exchange of advice and questions. Students were encouraged to consider what they enjoy, what they’re good at and what the world needs and ask questions to reflect on this. As well as fostering interest in their industry, advice from Old Boys was broad ranging covering alternate paths to their career, most enjoyable and least enjoyable aspects of their industry, biggest challenges and future prospects of their industry and what personal characteristics do people need to be successful in their industry or profession.
