16 th November, 2013, 9:00-16:00 Careers fair Έκθεζη Σηαδιοδρομίας
Dear Parents/Guardians/Pupils, As today our children find themselves at crossroads, expected to make some crucial decisions such as which elective subjects to choose at school or which university course to apply to, in which country and which career to aspire to have, we have put together the Careers Fair 2013 on Saturday 16 th of November in order to help our pupils to make informed decisions. The fair is also meant to help the parents/guardians in supporting their children adequately in practical as well as in emotional terms at this point in their life. The aim of the Careers Fair 2013 is to enable our pupils and their parents/guardians to hear from accomplished professionals in their field what it took to get them to the point where they are today in their careers. Our pupils will have the opportunity to hear how and which specific various school subjects can be helpful in preparation for their future study. Moreover, they will hear of each speaker s first-hand experience of specific university courses at specific universities in specific countries as well as of an individual career possible relevant professional development. Some of the speakers may be willing to facilitate valuable pupil work experience which would give our pupils a taste of their future career. We sincerely hope that the information given on the day by the Careers Fair speakers and the opportunity given to you to ask them questions will ease your anxiety regarding your pending and at times troubling decisions and will help you to resolve some of the uncertainties you may have. The fair starts at 9:15 with the opening address by Mr Andreas Christou, Senior Labour Officer, on behalf of the Minister of Labour and Social Insurance Mrs Zeta Emilianidou. The speech on the employment opportunities in Cyprus by Mr Yiannis Mourouzides, Research and Planning Deputy Manager of the Human Resource Development Authority of Cyprus will follow right away at 9:25. It is strongly recommended that you hear out both speakers given the importance and relevance of their speeches. Please do look at the Careers Fair 2013 Programme Booklet in detail and do plan to attend as many sessions as you can in order to get the maximum of information as sometimes it is by method of elimination that we are guided to the correct answer so even if there is a pupil s slightest interest in or inclination for one of the careers, every effort should be made to hear out the relevant speaker. Most local higher education institutions will have their stations at the fair. The school restaurant will be open throughout the day. It is essential for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 pupils/parents/guardians to attend the fair and it is strongly recommended that Years 1 and 2 pupils/parents/guardians also attend in order to become aware of various career pathways. The attendance is open to friends and family of PASCAL schools pupils. Sincerely, Ariana Milutinovic Principal
