Bali Island School brought another round of its annual Career Day.
On 16 February 2023, Bali Island School hosted its much-awaited annual Career Day bringing Kevin Girard as the keynote speaker. Known by most as the general manager of Conrad Bali, Kevin shared his vision about the importance of developing skills that are fit for purpose, to help guide the job-hopping generation Z in their career paths.
“Today, career changes occur frequently. BIS is aware of that and must emphasise the importance of skills acquisition next to content knowledge, which aligns perfectly with IB philosophy.” said Head of School Mike Miller. “On BIS Career Day, we had speakers from the hospitality, medical, engineering, finance, law, and IT industries, to name a few, to help our Grade 6-12 students explore their potential future options. We are lucky to have a supportive parent community willing to share their knowledge and expertise to help our young Dragons prosper.”
In addition, several other industry career panels also enlightened the participants, complete with Q&A sessions with BIS secondary students. The panel sessions discussed various topics, including sustainability or environmental, information technology, arts and design, communications or journalism, economic and business, as well as medical, and law or diplomacy.
Other coveted speakers included former Ambassador of Indonesia to New Zealand Tantowi Yahya, Conservation Scientist Dominic Bryant, and Bali Royal Hospital Founder and Managing Director DR. Ida Ayu Oka Purnamawati.
