Back to School is a program that aims to expose psychology graduates about their journeys and encounters during their studies, as well as provide students with information about their future paths. The main graduate attributes that are focused on are leadership and teamwork skills where we were able to interact and work efficiently with each other as a committee. Also, it taught us to understand the task towards group decision. Furthermore, this program emphasized our communication skills which is an important aspect of our daily life. As a secretary, excellent communication skills mean that I can write documentation clearly and comprehensible. Communication skills help us to deliver ideas orally in an effective way. Lastly, global citizen attributes. As we know knowledge about future career paths is important to students so these skills are focused on ensuring that we are updated with current issues. This program provided us the ability to act professionally while carrying our tasks.
Back to School program is hosted as a talk session for alumni to serve as a forum for students to gain new perspectives on the workplace. It provided an opportunity for us to collect valuable information from alumni about various career paths. Not just that, it helps encouraging students to ask questions about entering the professional world.
