Very informative and interesting day. The presenters were all so very passionate about their jobs and able to give a great summary of steps they have taken to get to where they are in their work and what they found useful along the way. Their passion and commitment was very inspiring. I especially appreciated the focus on how there may be multiple pathways towards a given career with animals and that transferable skills can be learnt and built on by multiple positions along the way.
The careers day was extremely well planned and executed. The leaders from the education team were engaging, enthusiastic, approachable and very knowledgable, and the day provided an opportunity to hear from a wide range of staff members from across the RSPCA, and learn about all different pathways and employment opportunities in the animal care industry. It was also wonderful to get to know the facilities and operation of the RSPCA.
This day is ideal for students who have an interest in working with animal but are unsure about pathways into the industry, or what that career might look like. Overall, a fun, fantastic and eye-opening day!
