Career and Professional Development

The Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP) is a key feature of all degree programmes offered by SIT. It is a 26-week to 8-month stint that every SIT student has to participate in and be immersed in a real-work environment.

In this work situation, students are expected to integrate knowledge and practice, understand broader trends in the industry, as well as initiate and develop innovative projects with accompanying solutions.

In order to prepare students to secure their first IWSP positions, this Career and Professional Development (CPD) module aims to provide students with the experience of going through the entire process of job search, from submitting their job application letter and resume to attending a mock job interview session. The knowledge and skills acquired by students through this module and the IWSP would form a valuable source for students to draw from as they look for their first full-time job upon graduation and as they plan their career.

This module, conducted via small-group workshops and individual e-learning, allows students to maximally gain meaningful learning and practice. The topics that they are guided through in the module to get that job are:
Career Planning & Management
Job Search Strategies
Cover Letter and Resume Writing
Interview Skills

The Career Planning & Management, and Job Search Strategies components are conducted in an e-learning format, so as to provide students with more time for self-study and reflection.
