Pension Office conducted a session of the Career Compass Program for the Grade 11 students of Hanimaadhoo School, as part of its ongoing efforts to equip young people with practical knowledge and skills to prepare for their future careers and transition into the workforce.

The session brought together students and focused on career planning, CV writing and interview preparation, providing practical guidance to help students explore career opportunities and prepare for employment.

During the session, students were introduced to different aspects of career development, including identifying potential career pathways, preparing an effective CV, approaching job applications and developing the skills needed to perform confidently in interviews. The programme aimed to help students better make informed decisions about their future career paths, as they prepare for life after school.
