Inspiring Advice from TAC Graduates on the Career Day
TAC’s traditional Career Day was held on TAC campus on Monday, 23 May with 22 guest speakers: TAC graduates who are affluent representatives of their professional field. Organized by TAC’s Counseling Department, the planning leading up to the event saw meticulous collaboration and working out the details by the school administration, corporate communications department, TAC Alumni Association, teachers, students, and school staff.
The guest speakers of the event, with graduation years ranging from 1971 to 2013, returned to campus after many years to talk about their careers and inspire our students. They were excited to get to know more about TAC students during the day, while the students were very happy to hear about the valuable experiences of the graduates who had “been down that road before”. Receiving the positive feedback of students, teachers, administrators and guests was the best reward at the end of this successful event.
