The Oak Program aims to provide students with an insight into some of the opportunities that exist after University, helping students to think enthusiastically about their own careers by sharing the experiences and stories with a diverse group of alumni. Although the discussion centres on life in the workplace, guests are often asked about their memories of life at Trinity.
Student interest has been very high in 2013, and audience members have included all year levels and areas of study. It is often mentioned that the Oak Program chats provide something for all students regardless of their background or that of the guest, and we are extremely appreciative of participating alumni for giving up their time, and providing such an engaging and inspiring experience.
