A Long-Established TAC Tradition: Career Day
On December 12th, 2017, the TAC community was excited to host another "Career Day", one of the major academic traditions of Tarsus American College. During the activity, our students were able to learn more about professions they were interested in pursuing, including the many applications of these professional areas.
Through informal conversations, TAC’s Career Day, organized by our 129-year old school which acts on the motto, "Leaders for Turkey, Leadership for the World", our students received valuable information about careers from experts in their respective fields. The main difference between "Tarsus American College Career Day" and the ones in other schools is that every guest who was invited here is a graduate of TAC.
The TAC graduates, who joined this event from around Turkey, each of whom is a well-esteemed and a groundbreaking representative of their respective professional field, shared their experiences with sincerity about their choice of profession and career decisions with TAC students. The professional expertise ranged from careers in the field of medicine to fashion, as well as banking, software design, senior management and engineering. Guests responded to student questions in order to guide students toward the first steps of their career planning. It was a particular honor and pleasure to host Prof. Dr. Sencer Ayata, a member of parliament and TAC'68 graduate.
The TAC graduates, who shared anecdotes about their time at TAC, were clearly delighted to come back to their alma mater, and the day was filled with memorable moments for all.
We thank all the guest speakers who joined TAC Career Day 2017 and wish them continued success.
