On Wednesday May 10, 21 Business Communication and Technology students from The Cathedral College visited CQU’s faculty of Business and Informatics to learn about business programs.

Philip Bell, Manager of Student Services, gave the business students detailed information about the programs on offer at CQU, to help them make the right choice after leaving school.

Students also had the opportunity to get some hands-on experience when marketing lecturers Jim Callan and Meredith Parrish conducted a workshop using a web-based group support program.

The software enables the group to type ideas/comments that everyone in the group can see and add to.

The students then received a tour of the University’s facilities guided by CQU student mentors who are currently studying business courses.

The student mentors are an integral part of a first-year university students’ journey and assist new students in all aspects of the unfamiliar world of university life.

It was a great opportunity for the school students to ask some questions about what really happens at university.

The TCC students will take away with them much food for thought concerning a choice of career in business.
