Career Pathways @ Hillgrove Secondary School 🤓
Career Pathways is our creative twist on conventional lecture-style career talks where students actually get their hands dirty and experience different careers through experiential activities to truly understand the career.
Made our way to the west side of Singapore to meet the enthusiastic students from Hillgrove Secondary! They got a glimpse into the lives of professionals in healthcare, design, media, engineering, entrepreneurship, hospitality and even food & beverage.
