I started career planning (for my children) when they were very young – at 5 years old.

In line with the continued evolution in technology and the economy, students are today presented with a multitude of options for their future – most of which may now be nurtured within K-12. Parents are also more discerning as well as increasingly conversant with the various intra-curricular and extra-curricular components required in providing a well-rounded education experience for their children.
The battleground amongst K-12 institutions have thus now extended beyond competition over the provision of core curricular qualifications into the delivery of a holistic education experience that nurtures the student for his/her career of choice. Herein lies the importance of offering a diversity of pathways leading to not only traditional, but also trending, careers.

NURTURE FUTURE CAREERS

New categories of jobs will emerge, partly or wholly displacing others. The skill sets required in both old and new occupations will change in most industries and transform how and where people work.
Automation is projected to push employers toward shrinking 50% of their workforce by 2022, with the mining, consumer, energy and financial services industries projected to reduce manpower requirements by between 55% and 72%. Likewise, 9% of occupations in 2030 are expected to be new.
With these in mind, how do we prepare our children for a future where automation and its constituents including robotics, artificial intelligence, big data, etc. dominate?
There is also increasing pressure from parents for schools to better prepare their children for the future workplace. Schools need to equip students with the skills required in the future, through well-implemented programmes contributing toward leadership in the marketplace.

Over the past decade, there has been widespread adoption of technology in teaching and learning within classrooms. To keep up with learners who increasingly demand personalised learning, schools need to understand the hows and identify the wheres of technology to enjoy highest returns from their investment.
Despite huge investments in the area, however, results have been mixed.
