Education Career Guidance

Mr Damon Choo(ECG Counsellor)

• Different education landscape & work lifeo Mindset about learning

(no clear demarcation for school & work phase)

o Mindset about conventional pathways (multiple pathways leading to success)

o Idea of colleagues (greater diversity; 60 is the new 40;

collaboration with robots)


Adopting The Right Mindset


• Work will disappear/change when students graduate

o Be agile, flexible & adaptable(Open to new jobs that are yet to be existed and new job scopes)


Adopting The Right Mindset


• Have the end in mind

• Be willing to learn more skills

• Explore other interests (It is okay to have more than one ambition and have more than one option)

• Be adaptive and develop resilience
