CPA Australia to host the second Career Expo in Vietnam

The event offers hundreds of students and graduates the opportunity to meet with more than 50 well-established employers and leading universities in the field of accounting and finance.

The expo will feature a keynote presentation by Alex Malley, chief executive of CPA Australia and author of the best-selling professional mentoring book, The Naked CEO, which has been translated into Vietnamese and will be officially launched at Ho Chi Minh Book Street and Career Expo.

Malley will be at Ho Chi Minh Book Street (Nguyen Van Binh Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) on Friday October 28, from 15:00-18:00, where he will provide a motivational speech and sign copies of his book.

Malley, who has personally responded in video to over 1,500 career-related questions on CPA Australia’s online mentoring community thenakedceo.com, believes that helping prepare the next generation of leaders is the world’s greatest succession plan and Career Expo is part of CPA Australia’s contribution to this endeavour.

“The overwhelming reception to The Naked CEO book, combined with the thousands of conversations I have had with young people on thenakedceo.com and at many events, underscores their universal enthusiasm for insights and opportunities that will help them better navigate the professional world,” Malley said.

“I believe helping prepare the next generation of leaders is the world’s greatest succession plan: our Career Expo is part of CPA Australia’s contribution to this endeavour. I will speak about the importance of being courageous and passionate when entering the workforce. Feelings of fear and embarrassment should never hold someone back from embarking on new experiences and opportunities – it is the only way of discovering what they are truly capable of,” he said.

CPA Australia’s Career Expo is an international series of events held annually across 14 cities throughout the Asia Pacific.
