Topic:
Panel Discussion: Navigating the School-to-Career Transition
Abstract:

Transitioning from a student to entering the workplace as a newcomer marks a necessary stage of personal growth and a significant juncture in life's journey. As a newcomer of the workforce, individual need to step out from the structured learning environment, necessitating independent exploration of the new professional landscape, shouldering greater responsibilities, and engaging with a broader array of individuals and tasks.

This transformation involves the practical application of theoretical knowledge to address real-world challenges and adaptations that demand appropriate mindsets, skills, and attitudes. The timely development of these skills not only facilitates obstacle navigation but also enhances the ability to capitalise on a wider range of opportunities.

In this forum, the education experts will explore strategies for assisting students in cultivating essential competencies through school-to-work transition learning, empowering them to transit confidently from academic settings to workplace environments, fostering self-assurance and competence as they embark on their career journeys.
