Industry Live 2021 schedule
About Industry Live:
Industry Live is a series of live career awareness and exploration events via Zoom. Beacon invites industry panellists to share their stories, top tips for success, and answer questions from school students across Australia in a discussion led by a trained Beacon facilitator.
Schools have the option to join the events live during which they can participate in the Q&A with the panel. Or, schools can request the recording and watch the session with the class at their convenience. Simply register to all our events and choose which one you prefer along the way.
Industry Live is FREE and open to all students across Australia in Years 6-12. On average, we host one Industry Live a month and schools are welcome to opt-in to as many as they like throughout the school terms.
