Education and Career Guidance

Education and Career Guidance (ECG) at PL(Sec)

Our vision is to nurture women of fine character with a passion for life and learning. The Education and Career Guidance (ECG) program is a key part of this vision, empowering every PL-Lite to become a "pathfinder", someone who actively discovers her strengths, makes informed choices and forges her own fulfilling future.

Our ECG program is designed to develop students who have a positive future-orientation and are equipped to take on the challenges of the future.

Our Approach: A Culture of Pathfinding

We believe that every student's journey is unique. Our Culture of Pathfinding helps students explore their interests, skills and values to make the best decisions about their future. This is supported by three key themes:

• Discover Who You Are: We help students understand their unique interests, abilities, and passions, and show them how these can contribute meaningfully to society through their future professions.

• Navigate Pathways with Confidence: Students learn about various educational and career pathways, enabling them to make well-considered decisions and take the first steps toward their goals.

• Keep Learning. Be Resilient: We equip students with essential 21st-century skills, such as adaptability and resilience, to prepare them for a lifetime of learning and career growth.

Key ECG Programs and Resources

We offer a variety of programs to help students explore their options and gain hands-on experience:

• Annual ECG Conference: A dedicated event for students to learn about different industries and professions.

• Post-Secondary Educational Institution (PSEI) Fair: An opportunity to explore courses and programs from various polytechnics, ITEs, and universities.

• Applied Learning Modules: Students can experience modules at polytechnics and ITE to get a real feel for different fields of study.

• MySkillsFuture Portal: Students use this official portal to complete interest profilers (like the RIASEC test) and explore educational and career pathways.

• Scholarships Opportunities for High-ability students using a Plant-a-Dream approach

Personalized Support

We understand that making these decisions can be challenging, which is why we offer dedicated support.

ECG Counselling: Our ECG Counsellor, Ms. Lim Hui Ching, is available every Tuesday and Thursday to provide one-on-one guidance to students. Whether it's to discuss subject choices, explore post-secondary options, or understand their strengths, students can schedule a chat with her.
