BOSTON & NEW YORK - UNITED STATES
Dhruv Goel (Old Boy 2016) is travelling to Boston this winter as part of a short-term exchange to study finance at Harvard University. He is currently studying for a dual Bachelor of Law / Commerce at UQ and is finding his coursework very captivating. Dhruv is wanting to get in contact with any BBC alumni working in finance or law who are located on the East Coast of the United States.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM
Three 2016 Old Collegians - Dom Walton, Chris Portway and Sam Long are travelling to London for a short-term exchange. These young men are keen to meet people in the finance and legal industries to learn more about the day-to-day lives of people living in London; tips and tricks for establishing themselves in London; and the types of industries and sectors that are particularly prevalent in the London market.
2014 Alumni, Tom Coupe has since completed a Bachelor of Commerce at The University of Queensland and is now in London pursuing a career in finance. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
SURREY, UNITED KINGDOM
The Mitchell Family (who have a son in Year 7 at BBC and a daughter in Year 4 at Graceville) are looking at relocating to Surrey. The overseas move will be a daunting task for the family, particularly as their children will not know anyone their age. The family would welcome any advice on schools and the process of relocating.
WORK EXPERIENCE FOR CURRENT STUDENTS
Current Senior 'Lachie' is looking to study medicine at UQ or James Cook University in Townsville. Any work experience with a doctor or at a hospital would be highly beneficial to get a feel for what it’s like to be a doctor – it doesn’t necessarily have to be rural experience. At the moment, he is hoping to become a rural GP or a sports doctor. Lachie would have time to do work experience in the June/July holidays or on afternoons after school.
'James' is in Year 10 and desperate to become a plumber. He would like to experience what this profession might be like prior to starting some study next year with TAFE at school.
If you can assist Lachie, James or are able to assist in other career paths, please contact the BBC Career's Office via rdeo@bbc.qld.edu.au or 07 3309 3500.
