For those of you that couldn’t make it, Kim French from Kaplan gave an uplifting address about further professional education after you degree and how it can better equip you for a new economic climate. Baz Gardner Founder of the Social Adviser expressed his thoughts on the changing nature of the economy and the shift in strategy that is required for business to stay competitive. Followed by Christian Tapia from RBS Morgans who offered an insighful analysis into the sovereign debt crisis, a day in the life of a stockbroker and the intricacies of the stockbroking industry in contemporary economic times. It was a highly valuable and rewarding experience to hear the address!

Our next event will be CEOI. Three CEO’s will attend and address an issue of economic importance! Stayed tuned for more information about CEOI coming soon!

EFS would like to present to you a chance to meet like-minded individuals, network in a corporate environment, and increase your professional connections in the finance industry. There will be guest speakers throughout the night to give an insight into the world of stockbroking and finance. Discussions will take place throughout the night which include the Sovereign Debt Crisis, the implications of the recently passed Mining Tax and many other finance related issues.

Speakers include Stock Brokers and representatives from Morgan Stanley Smith & Barney, Kaplan Professional and FINSIA QLD.

Fastrack received a strong turnout of both representatives and students. Representatives from Deloitte, NAB, Queensland Treasury, CPA, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Arete Executive, QIC, Urban Economics, QUT’s School of Economics and Finance school and many more attended.

A diverse range of students were represented with majors in economics, finance, accounting, law, IT, public relations, journalism, marketing, international business, management and psychology all being present.  FasTrack was also able to attract fellow students from both Griffith University and The University of Queensland.

Special thanks go to Professor Tim Robinson (head of QUT’s School of Economics and Finance) and Richard Triggs of Arete Executive who both gave informative and engaging speeches on the value and benefit of networking.
