CAREER DAY 2024

On Wednesday, 12 June 2024, St Alban’s College hosted another exciting Career Day, continuing our tradition of bridging the gap between education and the world of work. This event showcased the power of collaboration, highlighting how humanity’s ability to work together has always been pivotal in shaping a better future.

The Career Day emphasised the rapid advancements in technology and the burgeoning role of AI in the workplace. Our students were reminded of the unique qualities that define our humanity, which are essential for staying ahead in a world increasingly dominated by technological progress. The committee aimed to equip the young men of St Alban’s College with the skills and understanding needed to navigate and excel in this evolving landscape.

By focusing on the profound impact of AI on the corporate world, the event stressed creativity and problem-solving within communities. It encouraged students to be active participants rather than mere consumers of AI, fostering a deep understanding of technology’s influence on their future careers. Emphasising the irreplaceable value of community experience and human interaction, Career Day 2024 aimed to inspire our students to leverage AI’s potential to connect globally and design innovative solutions.

The theme, “Let’s PLAI,” encapsulated the essence of the day, promoting proactive learning and innovation in AI. Through exploring new systems in the working world and considering AI’s ethical implications and responsibilities, we aimed to keep our students ahead of the curve.

Yours sincerely
