Work Experience
Over the years, we have seen tremendous success through our “Learning by Doing” approach which has been adopted by all of our trade departments since the institution’s establishment. Students have attested that this proven approach has made classes more engaging than those they have experienced at previous schools. Beyond this, our work-integrated approach allows students to sharpen and gain confidence in the skills they are developing while making concepts more understandable, memorable and applicable within a real-world context. To ensure that students gain as much practical work experience as possible, we involve them in practicums, internships, and apprenticeships. Upon completion of their trade programmes, students are also matched with job opportunities at reputable companies that partner with SJB.
