KL MAIN CAMPUSStudent Development & Career Guidance

IntroductionStudent Development and Career Guidance (SDCG) is a part of Department of Student Affairs, that offers uniquely designed life programmes that are central to a student’s personal and career growth. One of SDCG specially crafted programme is called “Leadership Excellence Programme”. It takes on an activity base approach that provide important tools and skills for student leaders. This programme comes with a number of enticing camps, activities and workshops which helps to mould the students to become a leader with distinctive quality. “Your Leadership DNA’ camp is part of the programme. It gives students the tools necessary to attain true leadership quality. In tandem with the ever changing environment, a programme called ‘The Road to Excellence’ has been designed to enhance students’ resiliency and learning agility. Together, SDCG, in partnership with the Counselling Services and Professional Life Coaches conduct awareness campaigns, workshops, group coaching, talks and seminars. Hence, SDCG offers a wide range of services designed to meet the existing students’ needs and will evolve continually according to time. The services provided are in these areas:

• Student Development • Leadership Camp & Skills Training • Purpose & Motivations• Career Explorations • Leadership Skills Workshop – Group Coaching & Mentoring

In order for students to gain concrete knowledge and experience on their developmental growth, there is a need of tests tools. Tests tools will be promoted throughout the year. This is the first step to self-exploration, discovering of values, developing strength/potentials, basic understanding of weaknesses and identifying innate skills.

We have qualified student counsellors that are ready to do a free basic assessment test with students. From the free basic tests, students will be recommended to take more in-depth tests to ascertain the results of their assessments or attend workshops (e.g. Leadership Skills, Living Your Best Life, etc) that will be conducted by licensed trainers or facilitators and a subsequent follow-up programme.

One of the very practical ways to see the developmental stages of a student is ENACTUS TAR-UC. ENACTUS is a very unique platform that students can use to develop themselves by helping the communities that are in need. As

a result of these projects, each student can develop their personal excellence and achievement. (Enactus TAR-UC Facebook)

Career Services

Another part of students’ development processes is the career development of students. SDCG works closely with the Career Guidance Society (CGS) to organise Career Development Workshops & Talks throughout the semester to help students to be aware of present day industries’ requirements. The Career development workshops are conducted by counsellors, recruitment firms and professional organisations who would guide students in the identification of skills, interests, values and how to make appropriate career decisions with confidence and maximize their employability opportunities. Some of the Career Talks or Workshops that will be conducted by Student Development and Career Guidance throughout the semesters are:

• Company Talks• Living Your Best Life Workshop• Personality, Goal Setting & Career Profiling Workshops• Resume Writing & Interviewing Skills Workshops• Career Decision Making• Career Fairs
