HS Career Orientation 2015

HIGH SCHOOL CAREER ORIENTATION

GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING DEPARTMENT

With the implementation of the K-12 program, junior students are now in a crossroad facing paths leading to different career directions. To address the matter, the High School Guidance Office conducted a career  awareness program entitled “STEP UP: MOVE YOUR WAY TO CAREER SUCCESS” last  January 20-21, 2015 in coordination with the UST High School Student Council and UST High School Peer Facilitators Club. 

This aimed to equip the Grade 9 students with vital information to help them come up with sound career decisions on which track to take for Senior High School. Early career planning facilitates successful matching of the students’ career choice and their personal traits which include their personality, interest, and aptitudes. 

The invited plenary speakers were Thomasian professionals who excelled in fields representing the four strands in Senior High School.  They discussed the nature, job skill demands, and trends in the labor market of their respective professions. Meanwhile, successful alumni and parents also inspired the students keep pursuing their dreams.
