Career Counseling
A professional career is the ultimate goal educators aim for their students. SEAMEO STEM-ED similarly endeavors to guide students toward a future in the STEM workforce. Recognising teachers as crucial in propelling students toward their desired careers and providing necessary guidance, we believe teachers must be fully equipped with expertise, such as the ability to establish strong bonds with students and effective mentoring. Based on these principles, we organise a series of workshops that bring together teachers and industry experts to explore innovative approaches and strategies for implementing career counseling.
Centered around a three-stage model: discovery (a measure to explore possibilities and core competitiveness), analysis (a measure to identify and build strong strategic plans), and activation (professional development for counselors), the programme includes structured training sessions where networks of professionals are established.
