International College of Management Visits Shore

We welcomed back Old Boy Mr Todd Palioca (’99) to Shore this week, who is now Senior Vice President at the International College of Management (ICMS), the “castle on the hill” at Manly. Todd presented to a group of Year 12 students the many post-school options at ICMS, which include degrees in Business with majors in Sport Management, Entrepreneurship, Fashion, and Tourism, as well as degrees in Property, Hospitality, IT, Cybersecurity and Data.

The structure of the degrees at ICMS include a nine month paid internship in Year 2 with more than 1,000 industry partners, including Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, Rugby Australia, Manly Sea Eagles, Supercars, Novotel and many more. It is this industry experience that ensures graduate employment success at 96 percent.

Classes at the College run from Monday to Wednesday, allowing students the flexibility to work the rest of the week. Classes are small where students are “known”, which creates a great culture and community. There is accommodation on campus with 220 rooms and also free parking for students.

Interested students are encouraged to apply to the Early Entry programme, which is based on School reports and not ATAR. ICMS Open Day on 23 August provides a wonderful opportunity to gain a feel for the campus and talk to academics and current students.

With graduate employment across the world decreasing with the impact of AI, tertiary education, which includes work placement and the opportunity to network and build experience, is becoming more and more important.
