Happy September! Yes, there's a new edition of The Land Collective Beyond the Skyline newsletter out today - this time I'm talking about the industry's current approach to traditional career education. I think it's time to switch it up. I've always been more of a do-er. I like to crack on with things and try them out for myself, as its how I learn best. For those who are like me, career education can feel like a bit of a drag until you get your hands on something to do. What is the ROI on university career fairs and one-off career talks? Not just for the company but for the young person attending or listening? Let's create memorable experiences for them to engage, especially considering just how vocational a lot of the built environment sector is anyway! ___ ?? My newsletter is aimed at employers, those who are invested in social impact across the real estate sector and career leaders at schools. Fortnightly on Fridays! -> https://lnkd.in/ePC_ajmH

Report: Career Fair Date: 31-05-2024 Host: Emmanuel High School Speaker: Sir David ___________________________ Good Day Captains of Industry and Members of the Academic Fraternity. Yesterday (31-05-2024) l had the privilege of speaking at the Career Fair hosted by the legendary Emmanuel High School in Harare. As always, l reserved some few notes for you - since you were not present to interface my presentation and l want you to benefit as well. The theme for the program was centric around the subject matter of developing an ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET. Now, before l even delve into my presentation, please allow me to give a few credits to the hosts. Dear countrymen...I witnessed heaven on earth! I saw learners with a resemblance of Havard professors. They were all clad in a professional regalia so much that you would mistaken them for millionnaires - even though they are! Equally charming was their disciplinary conduct. You could not walk a step without receiving a warm gesture of pure respect from the shining students who seemed to have every reason to ignore you - but instead chose humility. I realise it would be grossly unfair to overlook this wonderful reception l received and not recommend someone to this USD $1800 institution- 0773644502. Concerning my presentation l talked about Entrepreneurial Habitudes, dispelling myths surronding the misconception that Entrepreneurship is a monopoly of students from Business Studies. I explained that the subject matter extends to Engineers, Lawyers, Pastors and everyone, and that no one should discriminate against themselves unless of course they choose to belittle themselves. I talked about the liability of Entrepreneurship, which in its very sense entails problem solving and the upgrading of human welfare to comfortabilility. Addressing the various schools of thought concerning Entrepreneurship (Risk Takers, Opportunists, Problem Solvers) l emphasised more on becoming 'Problem Solvers' and discouraged against becoming an 'Opportunist' since an 'opportunist' can exploit any 'opportunity' even at the expense of his customer's innocence. Scaling down my presentation, l challenged learners to confront problems armed by the resource of their education. I implored them to hold themselves accountable for the wellbeing and perfomance of their families and immediate surroundings. Aspirant lawyers, l said, should be on look-out and guard after the oppressed. I explained that it is gross incompetance for them to pay a blind eye to unsual traits within their immediate surroundings (peadophile, GBV...) and not evoke their classroom knowledge to fight the vice. Icing the cake - I said that Entrepreneurship is all about offering a valuable and meaningful service - because 'the greatest among you shall be your servant' just as Scripture says - and in this case we the entrepreneurs are the service providers!

In college, I volunteered to run our campus-wide career fair. It was a long-standing, annual event produced by my student group. And I made it a failure. How? I started my planning by looking at the income statement for the event. I saw that the revenue came entirely from selling booth sponsorships. Because the event was the primary fundraiser for my student group, my main goal was to bring in as many sponsors as possible. Each day, my fellow organizers and I would outbound to the prior year's sponsors and new targets. Before long, we outdid the topline of every other year we had on record. Victory! Then, the day of the event came. The sponsors set up their booths, we flung open the doors, and *crickets*. There was no traffic. The student side of the "marketplace" didn't show up. And that was entirely because I focused on the wrong goal. There were MANY complaints that I fielded from sponsors. Considering that this was an established event with many sponsors participating year after year, my short-term focus could have jeopardized the future of the fair. The next year, I volunteered to run it again. I wanted to fix my mistake. Since no one else volunteered to manage the project, I was 'it'. That second year, I rethought the purpose of the event. The real goal was to bring together students and recruiters in a temporary community. It was a marketplace where sponsors could present their company's career path. And students could pitch their skills, experience, education, and more. The second time around we retained most of the sponsors, but lost a few who felt burned. Those that we kept -- and the new ones that we brought on -- were swayed by the renewed focus: on meeting the students they wanted to recruit. We looked at the sponsors: several accounting associations, multiple engineering firms, insurance companies, a student painting company, and twenty-five others. We blanketed the accounting, economics, engineering, and other relevant departments with posters, flyers, and more to ensure students knew about the event. We highlighted which companies would be there so the students could prepare. The day of the event came. We opened the doors again, and there were crowds of students waiting to meet their future employers. Prepared with resumes, many dressed to impress. The sponsors were buzzing and the students were excited. Instead of focusing on the short-term revenue goal, I needed to focus on the needs of the end customers: the sponsors and the students. I needed to realize that this community needed to be supported, not simply harvested. Otherwise, a short-term boost in revenue could have led to a long-term loss as sponsors and students turned away.

Our school's career fair happened 2 weeks ago, but since then, the local magazine -- THAT's Guangzhou -- graciously wrote a piece on it! https://lnkd.in/g7CdmN5g Interviewing for this piece made me reflect on how my role as a college counsellor shouldn't necessarily only be to advise students on their university and course choices but be able to provide signposts for them in their long-term journey (in the spirit of Rachel Doell's thoughtful piece on 'future pathways advisor' https://lnkd.in/gUwF5RiZ). And sometimes the college vs career counsellor perspective can look very different. Take course choice for example. As a college counsellor, how to help students make the 'right' course choice seems of paramount importance to me. However, when I have the careers counsellor hat on, what becomes salient is the fact that career development is not necessarily linear, and that many (if not most) individuals are embarking on a career that is quite different from what they studied back in university. The careers fair was a great opportunity because it wasn't me rambling about these points to students but for successful leaders in industries to tell them directly that: - Career development is not necessarily linear; it's okay and rather common to steer away from your university major - Success comes in many forms; what is successful to others may not be success to you - Failures are inevitable; work hard but don't be afraid to make mistakes - Don't be afraid to chase your dreams It is admittedly hard to juggle both hats of college and careers counseling -- but the career fair was a good reminder for me that it's important to allocate time and resources into expanding the definition of my role, and supporting students in their journeys well after university. #careercounselling #collegecounselling #studentadvising
