Sixteen Year 11 students along with Ms McKenzie, attended a Beacon Foundation PERFORM Program at Aon in Parramatta. Aon plc is a British-American professional services firm that offers a range of risk-mitigation products. Aon has over 66,000 employees across 120 countries.
PERFORM is a dynamic, 4-hour career readiness program equipping students with essential workplace skills. The program covers key topics such as transitioning from school to work, professionalism, diversity, and transferable skills. Through engaging activities, students learn to communicate effectively, adapt to different workplace environments, and present themselves confidently in interviews.
A key highlight was the opportunity to connect with Aon volunteers. Students gained real-world insights and were able to practice the STAR interview techniques. The interactive approach ensured students developed critical skills that might support career success whilst receiving structured feedback.
PERFORM empowered our Year 11 students by building their confidence and understanding of workplace expectations and preparing them for successful career pathways.
Thank you to the Beacon Foundation and Aon for yet another fabulous opportunity.
