Types of work attachment
Work Shadowing
It involves students keeping in step with a worker, observing various tasks performed in his job and learning about his role. It is an opportunity to observe highly skilled professionals and managers and learn valuable soft skills.
Work Experience
It is a structured experience in which students learn about the world of work through direct participation and observation. You are generally asked to perform tasks that require little or no specialised knowledge of skills. Sometimes you may take on a project or event.
Internship
After the A-Level examinations, JC graduates may take advantage of the gap period to take up internships which last from weeks to months to gain further insights into the industry. Allowance is typically provided and some internships may lead to the offering of scholarships by the organisations.
