In 2017, we saw around 13,000 students graduate from ITE. But what’s after graduation for these students? Though some are able to land a job after much searching, it is often a struggle to in the job for long much less reach the top of the management funnel. How can help them overcome these challenges and enable them to thrive?
Join us for our Educators’ Engagement happening on Friday, 19 July 2019 as we explore what top hirers of ITE graduates are looking for and how we can leverage on what we have to build key competencies needed for our students to thrive in the working world.
Through an interactive panel and open Q&A, hear from established industry experts on:
- What they look for in the people they hire
- How to use existing platforms to maximise hiring potential
- How can you facilitate these moments in the classroom to build these invaluable character, mindsets and skillsets
