2011 Academic Year
Coordinator: Gutuan Zheng
Time: 9:30-10:30am (Grade 7+)
What an attorney does in her office? Who is a Wall Street analyst? Why this
person is called a professor and another one called a government officer?
This course consists of seminars and speeches by outstanding individuals, many
of them are HXNY parents and some will be special guests. The course is designed
to expose teenage students to the day to day work of adult professionals in many
different industries. The class is not a career searching or training course,
rather it will focus on what professionals do and think about in their jobs.
It helps the teenagers to understand the jobs and positions in the real world by
top career achievers. We expect our students to start thinking of their future
positions after face to face discussion with dedicated professionals. After
about 30 job introductions, we like to see the student have a more realistic
word in their mind. We will be glad if our students to initiate discussion with
their parents on what they do over the dinner.
In each seminar the presenters will be requested to demonstrate their passion to
their jobs. They will show students how their jobs contribute to their company,
their industry, and society. They will show their daily routine as well as
heyday. They will reveal the trade-secrets as well as funs only a few in their
position had ever enjoyed.
Multimedia (tube, cartoon…) and web-based information will be provided to
encourage student to further explore the fund on their own.
Bottom line, it is a lot of fun.
