UWC Career Services

ABOUT

Develop meaningful career empowerment pathways for UWC students and recent graduates.

We envision to: “enhance students’ induction and orientation experience as they transition into the campus environment and university life; provide robust engagement opportunities to raise awareness of and enhance the competencies required for career advancement and entry into the future world of work”.

We endeavour to provide a suite of offerings that will:
● Encourage students to enrich their educational experiences and ambition into meaningful career outcomes throughout their time with the university.
● We journey alongside them from their first year until post-graduation to support their transition and build their network as students, actively engaging and preparing them for their job search into their future.
● We boost engagements between employers and students by offering a multi-service one-stop-shop for recruiters and organisations who seek to collaborate, engage and recruit UWC students.
 

STUDENT ORIENTATION PROGRAMME

  • Facilitate the induction, transition, and adjustment of new first-year undergraduate students to the campus environment and university life.
  • Enable supportive social network formation.
  • Foster a sense of the academic demands of their first year of studies to help set a foundation for retention strategies.
  • Ensure that first-year students have a good sense of supportive resources and services on campus.
