Breaking Into Business Success.
On Tuesday the 11th of August, FAWA and the UWA Business School Young Alumni Network hosted their first collaboration networking event, Breaking into Business. Held at Wolf Lane, the night saw a mix of current students, UWA Business school alumni and sponsor representatives come together to network with and learn from each other.
The night included guest speaker Simon Edmonds, a former UWA Business School student and current young alumni who presently works at Wesfarmers. Simon spoke about his career development, from graduating from UWA, completing his Chartered Financial Analyst, and now preparing to leave for the US to commence his MBA at Harvard Business School in 2016. He looked into this progression of roles within Wesfarmers, including working in the Business Development team, as aide to Managing Director Richard Goyder, and his current role in Investor Relations and Planning.
Breaking into Business was a huge success, and we look forward to future collaboration between FAWA and the Young Alumni Network.
