Pre-College Immersion Programme

Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions a student will make, yet many do so without a clear understanding of what their chosen path entails. At Thinkers & Doers, we aim to bridge this gap with our Pre-College Immersion Programme—a year-long initiative designed for students in grades 9 to 12. This program provides a hands-on introduction to diverse career fields, enabling students to make informed and confident decisions about their futures.

Why Pre-College Immersion?

The traditional education system often overlooks the practical realities of career choices, leaving students to rely on assumptions or limited exposure. Our programme offers a structured way for students to explore various fields, not through lectures but through immersive, hands-on experiences, guest lectures, and real-world engagements. By interacting with experts and participating in competitions or summits, students gain deeper insights into career opportunities and skill requirements. 

What the Programme Offers
