Information on emerging careers and the different education and work pathways ensure they are fully informed about their post-SPM options. Skills focussed workshops provide opportunities for students to develop critical career related skills including communication, resume writing and interview techniques.

Spark Training Programme
The Spark Training Programme aims to provide school counsellors with the necessary skills and knowledge to better guide students in their Post-SPM Pathway planning. Counsellors are trained to deliver FINCO’s Post SPM Pathway module to their respective students. The module includes tools and activities to help them understand their priorities, learn of emerging careers in the market and understand the various pahtways available for them after SPM to reach their aspirations.
ACE Camp
ACE Camp is a 3-day face-to-face camp aimed at providing active FINCO students with the required knowledge and skills to pursue their post-SPM goals and ambitions. This acts as a final touchpoint with the students before they embark on their Post SPM journey. Not only do the participants build an action plan together with FINCO, they are also introduced to mentors from our Financial Institution network who go on to continue their mentorship even beyond the camp.

Careers InSight Career Fairs (CICF)
Through this 6 month training initiative, counsellors build valuable skills such as engaging with employers, project management and evidence-driven decision making culminating in the delivery of a virtual or in-person career fair. These provide their upper secondary students with access to a range of employers and the valuable insights needed to make plans for post-secondary life.
