“Find Your Vibe, Find Your Tribe – The Career Exploration Challenge!” at SMK Convent, Batu Pahat.

Ms. Jocelyn Lee and Ms. Peh Jia Yi, dedicated lecturers from the Department of Psychology and Counselling, Southern University College led an inspiring 2 hours career exploration workshop titled “Find Your Vibe, Find Your Tribe – The Career Exploration Challenge!” at the outdoor hall of SMK Convent Batu Pahat. The hall was filled with approximately 130 energetic Form 4 students participated in the workshop. Student Recruitment Officers also provides course brochure and scholarship information to the students.

The workshop designed to promote meaningful self-discovery, guided students in identifying their personal “vibe” — a deeper understanding of their personality traits, interests, and skills. Using the internationally recognised Holland RIASEC Theory (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, Conventional), students explored how their individual characteristics connect with potential career pathways.

After completing a brief self-assessment, students were grouped according to their RIASEC codes. This grouping allowed them to form their own “tribes,” where they engaged in discussions and shared reflections with peers who possess similar personalities. Through this interactive approach, students gained insights into themselves, strengthened peer connections, and understood how teamwork complements the career planning process.

“Career planning goes beyond recognising one’s strengths and abilities,” Ms. Jocelyn highlighted. “It also involves discovering a work environment that matches who we are — from job nature to the people we work with.” Ms. Peh added that understanding one’s tribe enables students to build confidence and clarity about their future career direction.

A key highlight of the workshop was the imaginative group challenge inspired by an adventure narrative to build a ship for voyage. Each “tribe” brought their personality strengths to life through their ship creations. The hall buzzed with excitement as students presented their ships, revealing not only their creativity but also how their personalities influence teamwork, problem-solving, and career aspirations. By the end of the session, participants walked away with a clearer sense of identity, increased confidence, and practical knowledge to guide their future career choices.

《发现你的节奏，找到你的圈子——职业探索挑战！》– SMK Convent, Batu Pahat

南方大学学院心理与咨询辅导系两位讲师——李可欣与彭佳艺讲师受邀到SMK Convent Batu Pahat举办一场主题为 《发现你的节奏，找到你的圈子——职业探索挑战！》 的职业探索工作坊。这活动在该校的露天礼堂举行并吸引了约 130 位充满活力的中四学生参与。此外，招生处职员也现场向学生派发课程简介与奖学金资讯。

本次工作坊旨在促进学生的自我探索，协助他们发现并了解自身的性格特质、兴趣与能力。讲师们以国际认可的霍兰德职业兴趣模型（Holland RIASEC Theory：现实型、研究型、艺术型、社会型、企业型和常规型） 为基础，引导学生将个人特质与潜在职业路径进行连结。

在完成简短的自我测评后，学生按照各自的 RIASEC 代码分组，并在小组中进行讨论与分享。透过与性格相似的同伴互动，学生不仅更认识自己，也加强了人际连结，同时理解团队合作在职业规划中的重要性。

李可欣讲师表示“ 职业规划不仅仅是认识自己的优势与能力，更关键的是找到与自己契合的工作环境——包含工作性质以及合作对象。” 彭佳艺讲师补充道，“了解自己的职业代码能让学生在未来职业方向上更有信心，也更清晰。”

此活动的亮点是以冒险故事为灵感的创意团队挑战——为航行建造一艘属于团队的船只。每个职业代码组都把其性格优势融入作品设计中。随着学生逐一展示他们的“船”，礼堂也被创意、笑声与热烈讨论所充满。作品呈现的不仅是设计巧思，更反映了学生如何以自身性格特点影响团队合作、问题解决方式与职业想象。

活动在兴奋和满足的氛围中圆满结束。学生们带着更清晰的自我认知、更强的自信心走出礼堂。
