So, Emma King CEO with the Victorian Council of Social Services welcome and

here we are at your headquarters at Exhibition Street just up the road from RMIT.

So what has changed the most in your industry in recent times?

The community sector is a booming industry so we've seen rapid growth particularly

in the areas of disability, aged care, childcare and family violence so there's

a real need for us to make sure that we have a really highly capable skilled

workforce, working across each of these areas in a way that really we haven't

seen before it's unparalleled.

Okay, and why did you choose this field?

For me, I love this field I think it has such a strong values and a strong ethics base

it's about people and I think that's one of the most special things about it it's

not a field that can be replace with robots it's about making sure that all

members of our community can have a good life and that's really exciting so I

can't see why you wouldn't want to choose this field and a lot of change

but what do you hope would be one really big change that we're going to see in

the next few years for the sector?

Look, I think some of the key things we need to

see in our sector to make them better places to be is actually to have the

workforce up in skill that we need so that when we have clients with genuine

choice and control, that they actually have choice and control.

I think we're at a really pivotal space in the NDIS and the disability space where we really

need to make sure that the outcomes that are there for people are the best

possible outcomes and again the NDIS is based around an ordinary life I just

think we can do a bit better than that I'm pretty interested in a good life and

a great life.

And if you were graduating into the industry right now what would

be the advice you'd give to yourself?

Well I would know that I'm heading into

an industry where there is a job for life and that's one of the fantastic

things about this area because it's growing so much faster than any other

area in what in workforce overall so the advice I'd give to myself is this is a

job for life. Continue to continue to learn continue to grow the capacity I

think to gain micro credentials along the way to work across different

workforces is huge and the value that you get in terms of working alongside

people is really strong. So get a great job enjoy working with people and

remembering that this is a job for life there's

a chance for lifelong learning here and a chance for a job for the

future, so and obviously surround yourself with great alumni, great staff

who are actually going to be with you through your journey throughout

throughout the whole of your career.

But now a bit of a personal question.

If you didn't have to sleep what would you do with your extra time?

Oh I think I'd exercise. I would definitely focus on I definitely focus on more time to

exercise, eating well and more time with my family as well in terms of looking at

the other parties outlook I love my job I'm very fortunate to work somewhere where

it's a very strong personal connection for me in terms of having a strong

values base a strong ethics base, it seems to me in terms of sitting with me

for a very personal point of view as well but I'd always love more time with

my kids and time to to be well and make

sure I actually go for that swim in the morning and the things that I always

want to do but I don't always quite manage to do it.

And now one last personal question, what's been one thing you've learned in your career that has

been most helpful to you?

I reckon that you get the best results

when you surround yourself with good people you can work collaboratively

because the reality is my biggest lesson although I know that I most certainly

don't have every skill set going around I have a particular skill set and as a

CEO I want to surround myself with people who have got the other skills

that I don't have and who were also going to be really frank in giving me

really good robust advice so that we achieve the best we possibly can as an

organization so I want to have very good strong people around me so that we can

achieve great things.

Okay thank you very much Emma King CEO of VCOSS.

Thanks David.

Study Abroad at the University of Georgia - Duration: 1:01.

I decided to study abroad because I wanted to expand my education.

I definitely knew that I wanted to travel. I wanted to try to see where my

education could take me and Georgia has so many wonderful opportunities to study abroad.

The idea of study abroad is to take students and place them in a new environment

where they're exposed to new cultures or scenes that kind of allow them to put the things they're learning

here in the university in context. Their perspective broadens.

The world becomes both small and big at the same time and yet they start to develop

a sense that they're part of a global community.

I've always been interested in new cultures, people, topics and I saw the opportunity.

The faculty that were also in the program had a great reputation and the research they had done and the

knowledge they had about the topic. I just thought it was a great

opportunity for me to get exposed to new people and new culture and just overall

it was a great learning experience.

University College Roxanne Bocyck - Duration: 0:41.

To me University College gives people an opportunity to experience Syracuse

University who might not otherwise be able to. The advisors are the most. They

were very influential to me. They listen, we explain our challenges to them,

they're familiar with the classes a lot of times and the professors. When I got a

scholarship it was like - Wow! Someone believed in me and it just kept me going.

Being a part of Syracuse University really was a great thing about it. It was

just a great experience. It was the best time of my life really,

you know really was.

University College Sue Smith - Duration: 0:36.

I've always wanted to have my college degree.

I really love learning.

I didn't know I loved learning until I went back to school.

And everybody at University College is so helpful.

Education and knowledge is power, as we all know.

I can tell you, the day before I graduated and the day after I graduated, I felt different.

And the difference was, I felt powerful.

They take what you might feel is impossible and make it completely possible and doable.

Interview with J.P. Morgan at the University of Bath Autumn Fair - Duration: 1:06.

hi I'm Charlie Hewson from JPMorgan so we all see a massive financial and

technical company so we're very much looking for technology based software

engineers coming to the firm so primarily recruiting today for the

software engineer program and so very much for looking people with experience

of developing software coding and all with a strong interest in in developing

a career in that so the applications ideally as a passion about technology

experience within technical background so obviously those who are doing

engineering or computer science or maths or physics who kind of have got some

sort of great sort of exposure to a range of programming languages is

obviously a great start and obviously as a firm will support that and help them

develop those skills in jobs and training and everything else at they'll

need as well where you accrue from brass because also it's a great talent pool

here and we've got a number of people here today who are from Bath including

myself and so we're just looking for the great talent that we have already about

the University

Interview with Dunnhumby at the University of Bath Autumn Fair - Duration: 3:33.

We are a consumer data company, so our biggest client is Tesco, and the club card

that you'd have seen maybe if you shop at Tesco, is an invention of dunnhumby's.

So we basically use the data that's extrapolated from people's club cards to

understand how to improve the consumer experience and advise our clients of

which Tesco is our largest client, but Thornton's for example could be coming

to us and asking, "we've got a new product how can we investigate what the...

...best price for it is?" or "how can we improve awareness of our new product amongst 20

year olds or Christmas shoppers?" And so we have the technology that analyses

that data and teams who also use the relevant media to promote it or...

deliver their insights to our clients to get that information across.

So we are predominately recruiting for our graduates schemes and internships so I

am the Graduate Programme Leader at dunnhumby and we have a number of roles which are

for penultimate year students on the internship or those who are looking for

full-time opportunities on our grad programs. Our grad programme is really great!

It's 18 months; so you get three six-month rotations in three different teams

and our internship is three months long so you get to be in one team doing

really like kind of in-depth exposed role and we look to assess most interns

for roles after they graduate the following year. You can either go into a

tech role, so we have opportunities in data science, development, architecture,

all sorts of things. And then on the commercial side we have roles in media

insight and wider than that with different kind of

clients or suppliers, so you really get diversity of rotations no matter

what you choose. So I would say there is a slight difference in what we would

screen when we're looking at technology candidates for our programme versus the

ones who apply for a commercial offering. So if you're interested in technology

programme you might be from a computer science background, you might be selling

a STEM subject, you need to have really strong analytical ability; if you can

code, if you know any specific languages or you've got a keen interest

in data science then that's brilliant. On the commercial side we're kind of

open to all disciplines so if you've studied, you know, anything from history,

psychology, media, you could be really good for our programme and even if you've

studied physics or something more numerical you might be interested in our

commercial program as well. Just someone who might enjoy being client-facing as

well, but across the board we're looking for people who are team players and can

demonstrate that in their application, but also show that they've got a passion

for data and know what we do and also have analytical technical abilities as

well to bring to the table.

So interestingly I've worked in the

industry for a while in a number of roles. Dunnhumby is my current role and

I love it I think I can see myself staying here for quite a while but I

have interacted with Bath university for a number of years and always found that

calibre of students is really really high, whether they come in for an internship or a grad

programme, we really want the best of the best, so with that in mind we've kind of

come to Bath looking for, you know, people from all different degrees but getting

kind of people that we know are reliable and trustworthy so I can kind of vouch

for that based on my previous experience and I think Bath also has a lot of

really interesting students from a number of backgrounds but they might

have done like placements already or opportunities in industries and that I

think brings a lot of skill to the offering that we have.

Study Abroad as part of your UEA undergraduate degree | University of East Anglia (UEA) - Duration: 2:53.

I decided to do a year abroad as part of my degree because I felt like it would be

a better experience overall,

and the opportunity to live somewhere for a year.

Study and travel was something that I couldn't really miss.

Being an international student I realised how easy it was to travel

and move into a country and overcome your homesick.

I wanted to experience a new culture, and that's why I really recommend anyone

who's an international student to do it.

Hong Kong was a place that I've never been to before.

So a completely different culture to literally anywhere I've been.

And it was such a good experience because you could travel, it was like a hub to travel anywhere around Asia.

So it was a lot of fun and a lot of exploring and travelling.

Every day was different because Hong Kong is a mixture of urban life,

beach life, university life. Every day we just wake up with a new agenda and go out and explore.

Definitely one of the best parts of Hong Kong and one of my fondest memories is the people I lived with.

I lived with six girls, they all came from completely different places of the world.

So I got to experience a new experience with them,

and even though all the travelling was so good, Philippines is definitely my favourite place.

it was just so stunning and it's a place I'm so keen to go back to.

Just how is it was to meet people and get to places so easily,

even those countries that I thought I could never reach before.

We got to pick modules that you didn't have the option to pick at UEA

and you've got to do an elective so something that was completely different from the degree you're studying.

And it was very group orientated so you were just left to it,

and worked in groups a lot of the time, so you were never alone.

UEA was always good at supporting us, and reassuring we are okay.

Therefore being so far away,

I never felt homesick or anything because they always kept in touch with us.

If we ever needed any type of help or we were missing home or anything,

send an email straight away we got a reply.

It was a very easy process to apply to, UEA was so helpful on what uni you wanted to apply to,

and if that was your first choice they do everything to help you get there.

That's why I really recommend people to just get out their comfort zones

because you would really yourself once you get there.

I think my year abroad has benefited me in so many ways,

I got to go to places I've never been to before, and I probably wouldn't have the opportunity again.

I made friends from all over the world, and experienced so many different cultures.

Because you experience the Hong Kong and Asian culture,

and then the people you were living with, where they were from,

you'd experience their culture as well because you were living with them.
