CHIJ SJC’s Education and Career Guidance (ECG) takes reference from MOE’s Education and Career Guidance (ECG) Developmental Model that guides schools in programming developmentally appropriate ECG activities for students at different levels.

(extracted from MOE’s ECG Syllabus (Secondary)

The model highlights education and career development as a process that takes place over one’s life- span, with three progressive phases of Awareness, Exploration and Planning. Awareness, Exploration and Planning are necessary for all levels of students, with different emphasis at different levels to meet varying developmental needs.

Foundation to these three phases is the development of one’s self-identity. This involves clarification of interests and values, understanding one’s strengths, developing abilities, and formulating life roles in the context of one’s life experiences.

At the secondary school level, the emphasis is on ‘Exploration’, which includes:

Exploring the world of work
Awareness of relevant courses of study and educational pathways
Awareness of skills, interests and values

At the upper secondary school years, this will progress to ‘Planning’, which includes:

Clarification of career self-concept
Developing skills in gathering information
Developing decision-making skills for post-secondary pathways

Our Objectives
