Students face a daunting decision in the last few years of their high school education. Choosing a college degree can be a difficult moment, especially for those who have yet to figure out what they want in life. However, it is easier to pursue a career in a field that they are passionate about.
Narrowing down the decisions can start by taking the time to ponder on their interests. Are there any particular activities that still excite them? Or perhaps there is a subject or topic that they would like to learn more about? Maybe it is a fulfilling hobby that they want to pursue further? By understanding their preferences, students will be able to make more informed decisions in their chosen career paths.
It also helps to take note of any skills, strengths, and weaknesses. These characteristics can further narrow down on which specific aspect of an industry a student may opt to focus in. Once these have been determined, it is best to expose oneself to more opportunities for growth. Whether it’s socializing with like-minded people, joining competitions, or sharing their creations, displaying themselves to the world may be a daunting endeavor, but it pays dividends down the road.
Fortunately, college is one of the best avenues for this. Students can make the most of it by choosing the degree program and school that fit them best, enabling them to explore the things that they love.
STI College combines industry-adept programs and modules with a balance of traditional, experience-based, and character-building activities; giving students a more well-rounded view of what their chosen career could be like and preparing them for it.
Through this approach, students can enjoy an environment where learning goes beyond the four walls of the classroom. As an example, STI students were able to represent the school and even the country in various competitions, including the recently concluded Huawei ICT Competition Global Finals where the school bagged the second prize.
The school also offers the Student’s Career Opportunity & Personality Evaluator (SCOPE) platform. This online assessment tool also features helpful career-establishing articles, bonus tips from industry professionals, and a planning worksheet where you can outline your career goals. Interested individuals can try it out for free at scope.sti.edu.
