Job Placement Schemes
Job placement is a vital component of our Life Planning Team’s mission, bridging the gap between education and the workforce. Our approach to job placement is closely intertwined with the three core aspects of our program: promoting self-understanding, providing career information, and developing attitudes and skills. In A-School, there are two job placement schemes that provide valuable opportunities for students to gain real-world experience and enhance their employability skills.
Work Experience Programmes (WEP) under the Business-School Partnership Programme (BSPP) by EDB
The EDB Business-School Partnership Programme (BSPP) is designed to facilitate career exploration activities for students. As part of this initiative, our school participates in the Work Experience Programmes (WEP), which allow students to engage in hands-on experiences in various industries. Through WEP, students can explore the actual operations of different trades and enterprises, gaining insights into routine tasks and job roles. This program is not an apprenticeship or internship but serves as an educational extracurricular activity, typically lasting no more than three days, or up to five days during school holidays. The EDB has mobilized over 220 business entities and community organizations from more than 30 trades and industries to participate, fostering a supportive environment for students’ career planning. For more details, you can visit the EDB Work Experience page.
Placement Opportunity from Parents (POP) Scheme
In addition to the EDB BSPP programme, our school also runs the Placement Opportunities from Parents (POP) Scheme. This initiative encourages parents to share their professional networks and provide job placement opportunities for students. By leveraging the diverse experiences and connections of our parent community, students can access various roles in different industries. The POP scheme aims to create a supportive network that not only helps students gain practical experience but also fosters mentorship and guidance from parents in their respective fields.
Together, these job placement schemes empower our students to explore career options, develop their skills, and prepare for successful futures.
