Istanbul, 20.2.2012 BISI CAREER FAIR COMING SOON! Friday MARCH 16TH 2012 The decision what career to choose is often very difficult for the students. It impacts what subjects to take in IGCSE and IB. Many of them struggle with this process as they don’t know yet in what direction their future will go. Parents find themselves in a difficult position as they want to support the decision process but usually lack knowledge about the different career options and what subjects are required for them. In an on-going effort to continue to strengthen our support for BISI students, the PTA Curriculum Committee is working with BISI Key Stage Coordinators 4&5 (John and Joy Bosman) to introduce for the first time a Career Fair for our Year 10, 11, 12 and 13 students. On Friday March 16th, we are dedicating a full day of career presentations including: - - - Parent Career Talks – where BISI parent guest speakers share their experience and diverse career paths in fields such as medicine, law, engineering, business, journalism, hotel management, programming, psychology and diplomacy to name a few. We are happy to have enrolled professional parents from various international organizations and successful local companies. Interactive Team Building Session with students, on a case study to better understand their own personal characteristic traits, which will be facilitated by Joy Bosman and former KLM Human Resources Manager, Emilie Terstegge-Nuyens Dynamic Information Session on “Get Ready for Your Future”, with guest speaker Lennard Boogaard from Unilever. Furthermore, our students will be directed towards the many resources available to them at the school and on line by John Bosman.
