30 April 2009: On Wednesday, April 22, the Aga Khan Academy held its inaugural Careers Fair. This provided the students with an opportunity to meet with experts from a large range of professions who talked with the students on a one to one or small group basis. Many of the experts were parents of the Academy students, past and present. It is hoped that this will be an annual event and eventually we hope that some participants will be past graduates of the school.
Students in grade 8, 9, 10, 11 and DP 1 were invited to attend the event at different times throughout the morning. The event was very informal and informative. A wide range of professions were represented including those from the fields of health (doctors, an orthodontist, an optician and a pharmacist), business (accountants and a financial consultant), legal, hospitality, human resources, banking, travel and engineering.
