Preparing Our Students for the Changing World of Work
We want AI students to:
Commit to continuing
education & training
Be globalised & be open to
differences
Be adaptable to changes &
be receptive to new
things/ideas/knowledge
Be resilient – able to manage
stress & multiple demands,
be flexible
Define success in their own
terms
How are we helping students prepare for these changes:
Changes in education landscape & longer work life
change our mindset about learning (no clear
demarcation on school & work life) & conventional
pathway (ITE to Poly to Uni: more years but why the
hurry?)
Employers looking at attributes other than grades
focus more on soft skills & exploration instead of grades
Work will disappear/change when they graduate
Change our mindset about what are good
careers/industries; be open to new job scopes;
Need for strong values & self-management
emphasize and teach these intentionally
