“Success is not achieved by waiting for the perfect moment, but by taking action now.” – General George S. Patton.
If you have a good plan, you can execute it today. Do it, as there is nothing to gain by waiting for some imagined perfect confluence of events. A successful career in today’s competitive job market is something that you achieve over time through daily efforts. Therefore, proper preparation is necessary. Through our program, we aim to provide comprehensive support and guidance to students in the English Department, enabling them to confidently navigate the world of work and achieve their professional goals.
Recognizing the urgency of addressing the career needs of our students, we have conducted extensive research and consulted with alums and industry professionals to identify the specific requirements and expectations relevant to the field of communication and digital media practice, with a particular emphasis on English skills. Our program will equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in various career paths within and beyond the communication and digital media industry, including content creation, translation interpreting, entrepreneurship, media reporting, and education.
We have integrated career-focused modules and courses into our curriculum to ensure a well-rounded approach. These modules will empower students with essential career skills such as critical thinking, effective communication, professional writing, translation interpreting, marketing business plan design, and teaching. Additionally, we have curated a range of resources, including access to libraries, databases, and online platforms that provide valuable insights and information about job opportunities in the field.
Our program goes beyond academic support by offering personalized career guidance services. Through individual and group sessions, our dedicated career counselors will assist students in setting career goals, developing job search strategies, and building professional networks. We understand the value of industry connections, so we actively engage with professionals and alums in communication and digital media. We organize events, panel discussions, and networking opportunities to give students invaluable insights into industry trends and foster meaningful connections.
Furthermore, we believe in the power of practical training. Our program offers forum group discussions, workshops, and training sessions to enhance students’ portfolio and cover letter writing skills, job interviews, presentations, translation interpreting, business plans, and using relevant technologies in the communication and digital media industry. These practical experiences will strengthen students’ competitiveness and prepare them for the realities of the job market.
By participating in our Career Guidance Program, students will develop the necessary skills, knowledge, and connections to embark on successful careers in the diverse and dynamic field of English. We are committed to supporting our students throughout their academic journey and beyond, ensuring their professional success and fulfillment. We look forward to working closely with each of our students, guiding them toward a bright and prosperous future in their chosen careers.
