~Career exploration tips to be given to participants~
PHILIPSBURG:--- The Student Support Services Division (SSSD) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sport is organizing a workshop entitled “My Study or Career: My Choice” on April 18, 2024, at the University of St. Martin from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
This free, interactive workshop is geared toward students in their last two years of secondary school or recent graduates. Parents are also welcome to attend.
Many students are undecided about a college major and what career or occupation they want to pursue. Career Guidance Counselors at the Student Support Services Division (SSSD) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth, and Sport see many of the abovementioned cases regularly. The workshop is aimed at helping such individuals. It will cover areas such as choosing a career path, exploring careers, deciding on a major or study at a college/university, not overlooking career options, and other related aspects.
Workshop participants will also receive tips on exploring their interests and skills and how these can be incorporated into their career or study choice. Students or parents can register in advance by calling SSSD at Tel: 543-1235. Participants are urged to be on time for this workshop on April 18, 2024.
The Student Support Services Division (SSSD) office is located in the Gatspy’s Building, across from the Police Station and next to the WIB. SSSD provides services to students referred by the schools, such as psychological services, counseling services, social work services, educational diagnostic services, and speech-language pathology services. SSSD also provides general services such as career services, parent sessions, and crisis response.
