CAREER CONNECT PREPARES YOU

A Message for Our Students

Dr Aaron Tan Director, Learner Advisory and Career Centre Singapore Institute of Management

A

t SIM, we are committed to our learners’ personal development and career preparation, from the very start of their journey here with us. The Learner Advisory and Career Centre (LA&CC) was set up in April 2020 to step up our support to all our learners, whether they are undergraduates, Alumni, or working adults. We have set out to offer a full suite of services including profiling, skills gap analysis, learning pathway recommendations, job recommendations and connections to a large pool of employers. We aim to leverage job market intelligence and tap on AI-enabled state-of-the art IT platforms to offer the best career services possible to meet our learners’ needs. We also aim to offer a broad range of workshops and tools to help learners be better prepared, and add the all-important finishing touches to help them get your dream jobs. Other than tapping on LA&CC’s services, our learners also have access to all our learning opportunities and resources offered by the other units of SIM. It is this One SIM approach that we hope will elevate their learning journey with us and to keep coming back for more. As our learners discover their own unique interests, we envision everyone developing a motivation to be actively involved – developing the capacity to make a difference, make improvements and bring fresh ideas to their university involvement, or work environment. The world is changing rapidly and the jobs we know today may not be around tomorrow. We encourage all our learners to seize every opportunity to keep learning because learning needs to be lifelong and life wide in order to maintain your cutting edge in the midst of all these changes. I wish you every success in 2021!
