ECG programmes

In line with the MOE ECG framework, ECG programmes in NYJC are designed based on the themes of career identity, career exploration and career planning. Our guiding principles when designing ECG programmes are:

1. Meeting student needs

All ECG programmes are tailored according to the needs of our students. During the planning stage, student surveys play an important part in guiding the programme content. For example, when planning for our career seminar, students will be surveyed on the type of career talks they are interested in attending.

2. Adopting a whole college approach

The college involves many stakeholders in ECG. Besides civic tutors who are trained to deliver ECG lessons and handle ECG conversations, student representatives are also trained to champion ECG within their own class.

3. Developing network and bonds

Developing bonds and network ties with external organisations, parents and alumni is key to a successful ECG programme. Not only does the school value its long term partnerships with external organisations, it also actively reaches out to parents and alumni to participate and spearhead ECG programmes.

NYJC ECG Programmes:

EDspiration

This annual event invites speakers from various industries and institutes of higher learning to share insights into their professions and university courses with the JC2 students. In 2025, we reverted to a physical event for students to better engage with the speakers. Career speakers include Ms Gayathri Ramesh from the Association of Podiatric Medicine (Singapore), alumni like Mr Kevin Chee, the founder of Matchaya, and Mr Jonathan Lau from Micron. They spoke about their personal experiences and answered queries posed by students. In addition, representatives from various local universities also presented on a diverse selection of courses that students can choose from and their respective pre-requisites. Information on scholarships was also provided by representatives from SIA, MOHH, CSA, GovTech and IMDA.

EDventure

This  programme allows students to venture out of college to explore various fields of interest. Students have participated in various programmes conducted by NTU such as seeNTU, Science Discovery Day, CEE Summer Camp and LKC Med Camp and by NUS such as Chem E Challenge and FASS Track Youth Academy. Students have also attended the Family Justice Courts Open House and had a fireside chat with the District Judges to find out more about Singapore’s  judicial system.

EDubuzz

This programme is a series of lunch time talks where representatives from local and overseas universities and local organisations are invited to share about their institutions and conduct interview workshops, preparing students to apply to their desired tertiary institutions. In 2025, the institutions involved included Cambridge University Malaysia and Singapore Association (CUMSA) and Russell Group universities. We also invited our alumni Ms Lee Yi Jia and Ms Tan Jia Min to share with students about the Singaporean feature film that they produced – We Can Save The World!!!.

 EDspirience

Through work attachment programmes, students can gain experience in the working world and more insights about their career aspirations. Our long-term healthcare partners, Kidney Dialysis Foundation, Singapore Heart Foundation, NTFGH Dietetics, SGH Physiotherapy Department, SGH Speech Therapy, and IMH Nursing have offered diverse job shadowing and observation opportunities for students to learn about the various allied healthcare professions. National Museum, Junior College Law Programme, PSA Singapore and TinkerTanker have offered work opportunities to students as well.

EDmissions

This programme focuses on supporting students' applications to both local and overseas universities. A key feature of EDmissions is the appointment of Teacher Admissions Coordinators who are responsible for specific regions. Apart from local universities, the Teacher Admissions Coordinators can advise on the application requirements for study destinations such as the United Kingdom, United States, China, Australia and beyond. 

ECG Portal

This one-stop portal (https://ecg.nanyangjc.moe.edu.sg/) is designed for NYJC students exclusively. In this portal, students can further explore their career options, local and overseas higher education options, find work attachment opportunities and link up with alumni who have done well.
