Career Guidance
Career guidance and planning for gifted and talented youth is
vital given their multiple potential. Career guidance in RGS is
embedded in the co-curriculum programme and seeks to provide
students with value-based guidance which emphasises choosing a
career that fulfils one's gifts aligned to personal values.
The Career Guidance programme provides the following
- Engage students in planning and setting goals for school
work and career ambitions
- Provide information on the required qualifications and
desirable competencies of various occupations across
industries
- Provide information on courses of studies in both local
and overseas institutions of higher learning
- Present a variety of career choices through talks at the
annual Career Fair Day
- Provide opportunities for job shadowing (internship or
mentorship) in various industries through the Work
Experience Programme (WEP)
- Provide information about the evolving nature of work in
the present and near future
Work Experience Programme
Work Experience Programme (WEP) is an opportunity for Year 3 and 4
students to connect with or "shadow" a business professional
(mentor) who has specific knowledge about an occupation or
career. Students observe responsibilities and tasks associated
with the mentor's career and have the opportunity to ask
questions about the knowledge, skills, and level of education
required for the job. While the purpose of WEP is to gather
career related information and a chance for students to expand
their networking contacts, it also allows the girls to become
aware of trends in the field, and see the working world for
itself. Some features of the programme
- Conducted during the June and December school holidays for
a duration of 1 to 4 weeks
- Developing on-the-job skills and competencies for
effective and competitive workforce performance.
- Upon satisfactory completion of WEP and evaluation of WEP
supervisor, students will be eligible for a certificate of
participation upon graduation at Year 4
