The 7th and 8th graders, with their teachers Gayle Hampton, Megan Flynn, and Franck Le Martelot, will meet a new professional who will speak about his/her job and career during school hours every two weeks.

This year’s topic of World of  Work 4th Edition is “Identity & Values”: What is the purpose of work? Are we what we do? Who decides the “real value” of a job? Do most people “work for a living” or “live to work”?…

 

The students had the opportunity to meet last week Yilun Li, a Private Equity who worked in different places all over the world as China, the Middle East, New York…

Through these unique experiences, Yilun explained to our students the priority values in each of these countries: the importance of the network in China, the influence of the religion in some companies in the United Arab Emirates, the balance between leisure and work in the United States…

Thank you Yilun to have shared your vision of work… our middle schoolers definitely learned a lot!
