Education & Career Day 2023: “Digital Futures: Tech Trends and Careers in the Digital Age”
We are thrilled to report the success of our NHJS Career Day event, held on October 20th, under the theme of “Digital Futures: Tech Trends and Careers in the Digital Age”. The event resonated with the pulse of the ever-evolving digital landscape and aimed to prepare our students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the realm of technology.
The day kicked off with a keynote speech from Ms Stacy Danika Alcantara- Garcia, which highlights that technology has not only become an integral part of our lives but has also empowered us in unprecedented ways. Ms Alcantara-Garcia left us with a challenge, “In a world fascinated by AI, never forget the irreplaceable value of human connection, kindness and understanding. Be the pioneers who redefine what it means to be human in the digital age.”
We continued with a series of enlightening career sessions from renowned experts in the field, offering invaluable insights into emerging tech trends and the vast array of careers that the digital age has to offer. From AI and cybersecurity to data science and software engineering, students were exposed to a multitude of fascinating possibilities. Moreover, light discussions together with two of our NHJS parents when they shared valuable experiences of attending universities, being college students and embarking their career journeys. The event continued with an on-site university fair, which was attended by 34 educational institutions.
As we reflect on this enlightening experience, we are confident that our students are better equipped to navigate the digital future. Let us continue to encourage each other to foster an environment of curiosity and technological exploration and to empower our students to become the innovators and leaders of tomorrow.
See you on the next Career Day event!
