Digital Careers & Diversity in the Workplace

Year 9 students recently participated in a workshop centred around digital careers and diversity in the workplace; led by representatives from Mastercard. 

During the workshop, students learned about the importance of being digitally literate and that having a healthy knowledge and skillset in a digital world will open the door for multiple career paths. 

Our guests spoke about the significant advantages of a diverse workplace and how it draws on different experiences and mindsets, which strengthen a work force. 

To demonstrate their teambuilding skills, our students participated in a project management role-play activity.
