Face-to-Face Career Guidance & Role Modelling
01

Programme overview

The original OCG programme is designed for young people who need personalised guidance and support. Confidential face-to-face sessions help learners explore career options, think through education choices, plan for examinations and discuss pressures or life issues that may affect their decisions.

Where appropriate, the programme also connects learners with professionals, entrepreneurs and tertiary students. These role-model conversations give young people practical context: how people prepared, what their work involves, the challenges they faced and the habits that helped them progress.

The result is a more personal form of career guidance that combines counselling, planning and real-world exposure rather than relying on a single classroom talk.
