Career Preparation
I attended a GCU Accounting Society that had the following missions: giving students a chance to associate with the best-minded individuals in the accounting society and help promote the business course for students in the accounting department (Biernacki et al., 2020). I learned how to progress and be a confident expert in the accounting field. The accounting society assured me that I would gain enough exposure to adapt to industry trends.
This society’s top-notch goal is to enable the student to have a place where they can intern through the various connection that the school has acquired with companies (Biernacki et al., 2020). Some schools even sign an MOU with industries such that when a student finishes studying and they belonged to the GCU society, they receive jobs from the said industries. Even so, the demand for accounting jobs has been on the rise over the years, and one would not lose a job. Either way, accounting society is an added advantage due to the various affiliations that I acquire daily. Some of the skills I received in the accounting society are loyalty, flexibility, and adaptability.
