Career Development (CD)

As students embark on this exciting university journey, Career Development is here to support students in exploring career options, developing career plans, and gaining the necessary skills and experiences to achieve their career aspirations.

We organise and conduct seminars and workshops, as well as offer small-group and one-on-one consultations, to help students in areas such as job search skills, professional and soft skills, interview skills, resume and cover letter writing and functional and practical areas that are generally not explored in detail in formal academic courses but are highly relevant in the corporate world. 

We work with industry partners to provide students with the opportunity to gain practical work experience in their chosen field, which can be a valuable addition to students' resumes and can help students to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in their careers.

We are here to support students on this journey to be equipped with the required competencies and be future-ready.

DISC (123test)

The DISC assessment is based on the work of William Moulton Marston, a psychologist who created the DISC theory. The DISC model centers on four DISC factors known as Dominance (D), Influence (I), Steadiness (S), and Conscientiousness (C). The assessment is based off each individual's own set of values, beliefs and perspectives. Understanding our own values and beliefs would enable us empathise and collaborate better with each other.
