SWAP 2026 (Mid Year)
Student Work Attachment Programme (SWAP) Mid-Year 2026
The Student Work Attachment Programme (SWAP) provides secondary 3 students
with authentic workplace experiences beyond the classroom, enabling them
to gain valuable insights into various industries while developing essential
workplace skills. Through meaningful partnerships with industry partners,
SWAP serves as a platform for students to explore career pathways, deepen
their understanding of different professions, and connect classroom learning
with real-world applications.
This year, our students had the opportunity to participate in a diverse
range of work attachments, each offering unique learning experiences and
industry exposure.
