What is Education and Career Guidance?

Education and Career Guidance (ECG) is for Singaporeans at different stages of life. Whether you are a student or an adult in your early or mid-career phase, ECG supports you to learn more about your own interests, abilities and passion to make informed education and career decisions.

By exploring the learning or education pathways and career opportunities available, you can take positive steps towards realising your aspirations, and embrace learning throughout your life.

ECG can help you to:

  • Continually develop strengths, interests and abilities, to use them to contribute meaningfully to society through future professions.

  • Learn and explore the different education and career pathways available, and the opportunities for continuous learning and recognition.

  • Appreciate, take pride in and add value to any job.

  • Make informed decisions about education and career plans, and take steps to embark on them.

  • Develop competencies, values and workplace readiness skills to be adaptable and resilient.

ECG Counselling

Secondary schools, junior colleges, Millennia Institute and post-secondary education institutions are resourced with ECG Counsellors. They work closely with the respective institutions' ECG teams to guide students to make informed decisions about their education and career plans.
