Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is enjoying the journey so far as you try to maximise your university life! Career Connect has been busy ramping up our activities since all Covid restrictions have been removed. We hope you have had the opportunity to participate in them. This issue we highlight some of these exciting activities that were rolled out, and we get to hear the views of a number of participants about these activities and perhaps you might take away something as they share their respective learning experiences.
A key highlight for me was the 8-day Motul Business Case Challenge where our students did very well against many other strong contenders and two of our own managed to secure a 6-month internship with the company. Congratulations to the two winners! Other highlights would include EMBARK, which is part of our early career development series to help students to ace their interviews and internships, and also the new workshops that we rolled out.
Just a quick recap: At our DREAMS Career Fair earlier this year we launched our very own app called Career Sense. This has been specially designed for you to be a one-stop app where you can have access to tools and resources to help you in your career planning towards your dream job. You can discover your own work values (what is important to you in a job), career interest(s), personality, as well as your skills. Armed with this knowledge you can then make better choices for your careers. Do drop by Career Connect to get more information about the app and we would also be happy to guide you through the features. Since the launch of the app, we have seen an increase in bookings for career coaching. In this issue, we have included one of our students who have benefitted from our coaching sessions.
We also feature a variety of other interesting topics which we feel might be helpful for you. We hope you will enjoy this issue, and do feel free to provide us with feedback on what other topics you would like to hear about, or how we might do better with this quarterly publication.
