Old Waconians are building, innovating, and leading across every corner of the business world. From high-growth tech startups and creative agencies to sustainable ventures and disruptive consumer brands, our old waconians are taking the leap as founders and scale-up pioneers. Their paths are as diverse as the industries they work in, but they all share the same foundation.
The CHS Community network exists to make these connections visible and actionable. Whether you are launching your first venture, scaling a growing business, navigating your next funding round, or looking to advise the next generation of founders coming through, there is real power in a network that understands the journey.
You might use this space to:
A good place to start is to introduce yourself, what you do, how you go there and what you are interested in.
If you know another Old Waconian founding their own business, invite them to join.
Our events unite Old Waconians, students, and parents to reconnect, network, and celebrate across campus and beyond.
Can you provide a window into the industry? Use this space to offer work experience, site visits, or placements to Waconians looking to start their own business.
We want to hear about your path. Share your career journey with us to connect with and inspire others in your network.
Connecting students and Old Waconians, our platform fosters lifelong professional growth through mentorship, university guidance, and shared career opportunities.
In an ever-evolving engineering landscape, we ensure our students are not just spectators, but active participants. From specialist Pathways to hands-on workshops, explore how engineering is currently coming to life within our school.
