Young Executives from Ottawa to Offer Career Guidance to IVCC Students

Four young professionals from the Ottawa Network of Young Executives (ONYX) will offer career advice to students at Illinois Valley Community College (IVCC) this month. They will also evaluate student interest in a potential mentorship program. The team includes a credit union branch manager, a bank loan officer, a non-profit program director, and a children's entertainment company operator.

The event is set for noon on Monday, April 29, in rooms C325-326. Anthony Williams, Stacey Brown, Josie Navarro, and Caitlyn Tucker will discuss their roles and offer advice for students seeking internships, jobs, or opportunities in business, management, marketing, and banking.

Williams, the credit union branch manager, stressed the value of sharing the knowledge he gained after college. He admitted he was unaware of many resources and opportunities during his college years. He is also interested in understanding the current needs and goals of students.

The ONYX team is keen to understand student interest in a mentorship program. Williams wants to know what students would want from such a program. He noted that career paths vary, and it's normal to change direction and take time in college.
