Christian Careers Day: True Grit 17 May 2025
The working world is no joke. How will you work for Jesus in this fallen world? Will you have true grit?
True grit is not something you can just get overnight; so, make sure you know what it takes starting now.
Christian Careers Day is THE day where you get to discover what it means to work for Jesus. Hear from experienced Christian professionals from up to 70 different industries on how to make godly decisions for work and at work. There will be consultation booths, live job demos, workshops, a talk and a forum on true grit, and loads of networking opportunities.
If you're still in high school, don't waste this chance to start preparing early for work and deciding what job you should pursue in future. If you're already in university or working, it's never too late to get guidance and wisdom from God and his Word today.
This year's convention will be held at the University of Wollongong (UoW) Malaysia. Food and drinks will be available for purchase at the venue. Arrive at 9:30am to check in at our registration counter and grab some breakfast, then enjoy the rest of the day being encouraged by our speaker and forum panelists, and exploring all our different consultation booths or any of the workshops available. Entry is completely free! We can't wait to see you there.

Jon’s first 3 years of work were in a tech startup company where he learned what it meant to hustle in sales and product management to bring in new B2B sales, and get customer renewals. At the same time, he was involved in the work of steadily improving and pivoting where necessary to build his company’s software product offerings to meet their customer’s needs. These years were foundational in shaping his character and ability to truly be gritty in working for Jesus. With his experience, he then took on a Product Manager role in 2 other companies in the tech industry.
Since his university days, however, Jon has always been passionate about the good news of Jesus Christ and God’s goal for humanity. As someone who has always been considering how he may best use his gifts for Jesus and his church, he decided to pursue full-time paid ministry in 2023 and is now getting trained as a Church Ministers’ Apprentice at his local church. He can’t wait to share his experiences at CCD 2025 this year in both working for the Lord, and doing the work of the Lord.
