Careers Day

The Careers Day is a special day whereby students will explore the world of work, self, future and aspirations. Tailored to the Year 4 Students, the day of exploration includes:

  • Understanding the changing landscape of work in Singapore,

  • Sharing by Year 5 students of their internship experiences during Wonder.Observe.Weave! (W.O.W!) Programme

  • Careers, Scholarship and Higher Education (CSHE) Fair

  • Activities that enable in-depth exploration of the world of work (e.g. Career Simulation Game, etc.)

Career Simulation Experience

The IP4 cohort experienced an immersive and multifaceted Careers Day designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world professional environments. The day commenced with an engaging career simulation game facilitated by an external vendor, allowing students to step into realistic workplace scenarios and gain hands-on understanding of professional challenges, decision-making processes, and career dynamics.

W.O.W. Internship Sharing

This interactive experience was followed by a sharing session where seniors reflected on their Wonder Observe Weave (W.O.W.) experiences, offering authentic insights into workplace culture, industry expectations, and the practical application of skills in professional settings. Their personal stories provided valuable lessons on navigating real work environments and building professional relationships.

Building Future-Ready Mindsets

The programme concluded with a classroom segment that encouraged students to broaden their career perspectives and develop essential mindsets for future success. Participants explored how global problems and challenges can give rise to diverse and unexpected career pathways, learning to remain open-minded, flexible, and adaptable when opportunities arise. The session emphasized the importance of cultivating resilience and hope in navigating today's VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) world, equipping students with both practical knowledge and the adaptive mindset necessary to thrive in an ever-evolving professional landscape.
