In this week's episode, Devon and Sarah-Jane sit down and talk to Aaron Schoenmaker, and hoooo boy, does he have a story!
Today, Aaron is the Manager of National Student Recruitment at Centennial College.
Follow along as we unwind Aaron's twisty tale from high-school dropout and petty criminal to factory worker, skilled tradesperson, marketer and college recruiter.
Here are a few highlights we discovered:
- Networking and building relationships are your best friend when it comes to career movement
- Continuing to upgrade and pursue more education and leveraging transfer credits each time
- Using work-integrated learning opportunities through school to explore options and build experience
- Taking advantage of contract roles to learn, build your network and develop skills in different areas
- The impact of working with real grown-ups at a young age to get a sense of how work fits into your life
