DISRUPT...INSPIRE...IGNITE 

A CESA Discovery of STEM Careers aims to showcase the variety of career pathways available in STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. 

Hands up if you have thought about a career in Information Technology – especially in the Cyber Security space?  Our investigation into exciting career pathways and the disruptive technology that influences those careers continued and we were fortunate to collaborate recently with Saint Ignatius College alumni, Matt Fabri.

Matt welcomed us to OpSys, a leading global South Australian IT solutions company, located on the city fringe.  Rohan and Gabrielle from St Ignatius College, together with Davika, Julia and Taiba from Our Lady Of The Sacred Heart College  were immersed in the daily operations of OpSys (two days are never the same) and fortunate to hear various and differing career pathway stories. Staff explained how they successfully commenced at OpSys, either with VET, industry traineeship or university training and they each described and showed us the types of technological advances and the IT solutions available to a variety of industries and companies, big and small, world-wide.

This visit was recorded for a video project to be released as part of a virtual career exploration series. Information about DISRUPT...INSPIRE...IGNITE A CESA Discovery of STEM Careers will soon be available on the CESA Vocational Education website. 

This Project is funded by the Australian Government through the Non-government Reform Support Fund.

“My visit to OpSys and speaking with their staff, especially Matt, has given me a real sense of purpose and has had an enormous impact on how I see my future.” Rohan, Saint Ignatius College
