Career Design and Development Centre for secondary and senior secondary school students.

School students attending career design workshop provide them crucial support at a formative stage in their lives, and help them make informed and confident decisions about their academic and professional futures.

Our Career Design Workshops are design to help students explore their unique talents, interests, and aptitudes, to enable them to align their academic paths with long-term career aspirations. They gain early clarity to avoid costly mistakes like pursuing unsuitable degrees or careers. They explore diverse career paths and understand international education systems and global job markets.

The most important aspects of this workshop is that students learn collaboratively, gaining insights from their peers' experiences and perspectives, while bridging the gap between school and the real-world.
