Education & Career Guidance

Education and Career Guidance (ECG) helps students to look ahead to education and work-decisions beyond Bowen. ECG is about helping students to make informed decisions for a successful transition from school to post-secondary education or work, and hence to manage their career pathways and lifelong learning. Through ECG, social-emotional competencies and qualities of proactivity, adaptability, and resilience are developed to prepare students for the 21st Century.
