Skills Focused Pathway
Our Skills development pathway offers a channel of development in preparation for entering the TVET channel of further education after completing high school level.
Students will be introduced and given basic exposure to real skills required for a particular job function or trade before they enrol into a certified vocational school.
The pre-vocational programme is designed as an introduction for students who wish to learn a skill or a trade of his or her interest. The purpose is not only to help students learn a set of special skills as a career or to do a job but also to hone their skills toward entrepreneurship for financial independence. The core content is applied and relatable for everyday personal and business functions, offering real life understanding to complex concepts.
Typically, entry to this pathway of skills education and development is at Year 7 equivalent to complete with a final year of specialised skills certification at year 11 equivalent, exiting school towards further TVET education channels.
