Career
pathway is a journey whereby a SPM school leaver take to reach their
goal throughout their life. It focuses on the combination of
experiences in life, their education and training, unpaid work and
interests. There are many different types of programs and courses
offered to them once these students complete the most important exam
in their life; Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia. My responsibility is
not only to provide them with the updated information but at the
same time educate the importance of obtaining higher education.
Since
January 2015, I manage to organize more than 20 seminars and
motivational talks in various schools around Malaysia. The main
objective is to build a relationship with this schools and thus
introduce the programs that are being offered at Vision College.
During my talk, I will usually give them an idea about choices they
can make for their future career path, job opportunities, and also to
motivate the SPM 2015 candidates.
I
usually start off my session with a brief introduction and also an
ice breaker to grasp their attention. I will then share experiences
of our current students at Vision College and the challenges that
they encounter. This is to ensure that they will be aware and is
prepared for what is to come. Importance of community involvement is
also being emphasized during my talks. I also like the students to
think and express their opinions on the topic that is being shared.
So, I usually divide them in groups and each group will take turns
and present their ideas to the audience. I believe this will improve
their communication skills and indirectly help build their soft
skills. Rewards and words of encouragement are essential as the
students will feel encouraged and this will motivate them to go
further.
I
am thankful that till today I always receive positive feed backs from
the school programs that I have organized. I enjoy conducting talks
and hoping that I will be able to organize more in the near future.
At the end of my session, I would normally pray for them to achieve
success, be thankful and appreciative, and always be grateful for
their parents, teachers, and friends.
One
thing I learn from organizing events is that we need to be able to
manage things well as sometimes things do not go according to our
plan. It is undeniable that high level of discipline, sacrifices and
also commitment is required in order to achieve what is being
planned. Thus, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the
management of Vision College for their endless support. I am glad
that I am part of this team and may we bring our college to the next
level.
