Programme overview
This programme is designed to help learners make more informed education and career decisions while they are still in school. It combines orientation, aspiration mapping, role-model engagement and follow-up activities so career guidance becomes a process rather than a once-off talk.
OCG begins by introducing the career exploration process. Learners are helped to think about their interests, abilities, strengths and the realities of different career pathways. Schools also work with OCG through designated teacher representatives so the support is better coordinated.
