On 9 July 2007 (Monday), all year 2 students attended a session on personal grooming where they were taught the skill of dressing up for working life and how to carry themselves. The workshop aims to tell our students that being stylish is not so much about dressing right, but also carrying oneself with graciousness and integrity. Year 2s had lots of fun as they experienced a whiff of working life!
In term 3, the team also organized a series of sharing sessions called TUTORBUZZ by our very own NYJC tutors who have had working experience. We had Mr Paul Tan talking about the world of law, Ms Nirmala sharing with the students her volunteering experience, Mr Seah Min Yuen and Ms Amy Chiew on life as a mime and a journalist respectively, as well as Mr Ng How Wee on his experience as a radio DJ.
To expose NYJCians to the “real” working world, the Career and Education Guidance team will be organising industrial attachments for our JC1 students during the end of their academic year.
Students can look forward to short term attachments in various organisations like hospitals, government organisations, multinational companies as well as small and medium size enterprises.
For more information / registration, more updates will be posted at a later date.
OCT 8 will be your big chance to tap your inner potential this year end with our very own NYJC Career Seminar 2007.
The NY Career Seminar is organised annually after your promotional examinations. Working professionals from various industries will share their experiences with our students in order to provide them with a more realistic idea of the working world. These sessions aim to give students the opportunity to learn more about various sectors and to gain insight into the type of qualifications, skills and aptitudes needed to succeed in their chosen field.
This year, we’ve invited industry practitioners from the following fields to speak to our collegians:
Do look forward to Career Seminar 2007 at the end of this year! Hurry up and sign up online at the NYJC website!
