Augustine Donkor

Dr Augustine Donkor successfully organised and hosted the second edition of Career Readiness with MYOB, an industry‑focused professional development event designed to enhance student employability and practical skills.

The session featured Tricia Andrews, Education Manager at MYOB, as the guest speaker. Andrews shared valuable insights into career development in today’s rapidly evolving and technology-driven professional environment. Drawing on Charles Darwin’s well‑known principle of adaptability, she highlighted the critical importance of flexibility and continuous learning for future professionals.

Her presentation examined the growing influence of emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence, generative AI, and cloud computing—on business sectors such as accounting. She also demonstrated how MYOB supports students by providing market-relevant skills, practical tools, and an understanding of the Australian business landscape.

The event was well received and left students motivated, informed, and better equipped to navigate the challenges of a dynamic workforce. It reflects Dr Donkor’s ongoing commitment to strengthening industry engagement and supporting student career readiness.
