Career Exposure Experience (CEE) for Secondary Students
12 August 2015
The Ministry for Education and Employment has in the past years introduced the concept of Career Exposure Experience (CEE) for secondary school students. The idea is to provide one-week-long opportunities for Form Four students to undergo placements and be exposed to the world of work. The job profiles are matched with students to give them a taste of the labour market and particularly the type of job they are aspiring to seek in the future. This experience also supports students by providing them job-seeking skills as well as understanding what would be expected in industry whilst
developing skills beyond what is learnt in the classroom, such as soft skills. The past experiences of this programme has also shown that a number of students identify themselves with particular employers and actually seek them out when they eventually embark on their chosen career path at post-secondary level.
Businesses are encouraged to provide opportunities to host such students for such a brief period which would support their development particularly within the context that these students are tomorrow’s labour force.
The main sectors for placement being sought are the following:
- Agriculture
- Animal Care
- Architecture
- Art & Design
- Automobile
- Aviation
- Childcare
- Clerical/Administration
- Manufacture
- Marine
- Media
- Mechanics & Electronics
- Performing Arts
- Personal Care
- Sales
- Sports
- Elderly Care
- Engineering
- Finance/Business
- Gardening
- Heritage
- ICT
- Law
- Maintenance
Interested business owners are requested to contact GRTU on or 21232881 for further information or to sign up as a host to the CEE programme.
