As part of the career guidance objectives aimed at assisting Junior College students in their transition to University, Mr Noel Caruana and Ms Rebecca Grech, members of the Student Advisory Services (SAS) at the University of Malta, delivered two engaging talks to Junior College students on Wednesday 10 April 2024. These sessions aimed to guide students on their journey to the University of Malta (UM), covering essential topics, such as entry requirements and course selection strategies. These talks provided JC students from different year groups with the opportunity to gain valuable insights regarding their academic path towards UM and beyond.
In the latter part of the sessions, the importance of career exploration was emphasised. Students were encouraged to consider their interests, skills, and values when making decisions about their future studies and careers. It was explained that by integrating their aspirations with their passions, competencies, and values, students could find personal fulfilment in their chosen career paths, leading to a more satisfying and successful professional life. These talks aimed to empower students to make informed decisions about their academic and professional futures by highlighting the relevance of today's evolving labour market.
