Wednesday 5 August

Welcome back to Pathways Connections for Term 3. It is already busy in the pathways space with another Calvin first coming up - our very first parent webinar!

Author and speaker Alana Kilmartin visited Calvin to address our Years 10-12 students late last term. This time it is the parents’ turn. The webinar is at 6.00pm on Thursday 13 August and will focus on Building a Strong Career Support Team. Alana is passionate about helping young people create the connections and confidence they need to thrive in their careers, and parents play an outsized role. This is a golden opportunity and one not to be missed. Copies of Alana’s book are available in the Senior Campus Library. Follow this link to register for the parent webinar.

In this edition we have articles about quantum computing, data science and data analytics as well as a job spotlight on becoming a construction manager.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you or your child would like to meet and discuss any work, subject or career related issues. I am available during the school term on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday between 8.00am and 4.00pm. To make an appointment please visit my booking calendar or contact me by email at awright@calvin.tas.edu.au. Students may make an appointment during school time as appropriate.

What is the difference between data science and data analytics?

Data science and data analytics are often treated like the same job, but they ask different questions and call for different strengths. Understanding where the two diverge could make it easier to figure out which path, if either, is the better direction for you.
