The Ministry for Education and Employment embarked on the ‘I Choose’ initiative for another year, targeting all 4th & 5th formers giving students the opportunity to explore further career options as they leave compulsory education.

The overall aim of this event is to help students to overcome difficulties and doubts related to their future career paths.  As well as seek one-to-one advice from the career guidance practitioners.  Students and parents alike could opt to attend different talks delivered by professionals in various related fields.

MIA was present as the official voice and guardian of the accountancy and finance profession.  Apart from exhibiting to network and inform students on the alternative study routes, committee members discussed the diverse career opportunities, personal development and job security the profession offers during an interactive and informative panel discussion.
