Every year, Uniserv, in collaboration with Jalaram Academy's Career Department, organizes an inspiring and highly anticipated career development event for students in Years 11 to 13. This annual gathering has become a pivotal experience for students, offering them an invaluable opportunity to explore career paths, gain insights from industry professionals, and take decisive steps toward their future careers.
A Day of Inspiration and Learning
The event, which typically takes place over a full day, is designed to provide students with a comprehensive overview of various career opportunities and educational paths. The day begins with a keynote speech by a leading industry expert, often a professional with a diverse and impressive background. This year's keynote speaker, for instance, was a tech entrepreneur who shared his journey from a high school student with big dreams to becoming the CEO of a successful startup. His story not only captivated the students but also underscored the importance of persistence, innovation, and lifelong learning.
Career Fair: Bridging the Gap Between Students and Industries
In addition to the workshops, the event features a career fair where students have the chance to interact with representatives from top universities, colleges, and various industries. From healthcare and law to engineering and creative arts, students can explore a wide range of professions and educational paths. Representatives provide insights into career requirements, future trends, and internship opportunities, giving students a realistic view of what to expect in their chosen fields.
Uniserv, being a key partner, also offers students exclusive opportunities, such as internships and mentorship programs. These connections often lead to future internships, apprenticeships, and even job offers, giving students a head start in their career journeys.
One-on-One Career Counseling
Recognizing that each student has unique aspirations and needs, the event also provides one-on-one career counseling sessions. Career advisors from Jalaram Academy and Uniserv work closely with students to offer personalized guidance. They help students identify their strengths, align them with potential career paths, and develop action plans for the future. For many students, this counseling session becomes the turning point in their career planning process.
Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders
The Uniserv-Jalaram Academy career event is more than just a day of workshops and networking; it's a powerful experience that ignites students’ ambition and helps them envision a bright future. It bridges the gap between education and industry, preparing students not just for exams but for life beyond school.
As one Year 13 student put it, "This event opened my eyes to possibilities I hadn’t considered before. The speakers were incredible, and the workshops gave me practical skills I can use right away. I now feel more confident about my future and the steps I need to take to achieve my goals."
