CAREER CONNECT PREPARES YOU

What is

L

ife is so much more than just books, exams and qualifications. In SIM, your education encompasses a broad spectrum of knowledge, skills and activities; both inside and outside of the typical classroom. 1095 is the number of days a typical student will spend in SIM, which equates to three years. Project 1095 seeks to tailor programmes and initiatives specifically to help each student maximise their 365 days yearly. Students are encouraged to participate in these activities with their peers to ensure that they achieve an all-rounded student experience and at the same time, nurture their global readiness in preparing them for a future beyond SIM.

Student Development SDEV contributes to the holistic and transformative experience of students in a conducive and diverse environment for learning, cultural appreciation, values clarification and skills development. A passionate and multidisciplinary team of staff co-create a space where social awareness, civility, empathy, and a strong zest for education beyond the classroom converge.

Learner Advisory and Career Centre Career Connect aims to develop career competitive edges in students, help them build industry networking and professional connections and streamline their career aspirations. This is achieved through career guidance, internships and job opportunities, career workshops and career events. Find out more about these opportunities on UNICORN at http://qrco.de/sim-unicorn
