The Career Compass 2008 aims to give students a better understanding of the opportunities in the current and future job market. Students can make use of this information when choosing what courses to pursue in the universities, polytechnics and Institute of Tehnical Educations (ITE). They can also make informed career choices when they enter the workforce.

Another area that you might wish to explore is the School of Health Sciences at Nanyang Polytechnic (http://www.nyp.edu.sg/). This is a highly misunderstood school because people think they offer the usual Poly diploma courses. Actually there are 4 courses in this school that are meant for 'A'-level graduates (you cannot enter the school without A-levels) : Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Diagnostic Radiography. You will graduate with a diploma but the degree conversion course only takes slightly more than a year at SIM. This is part of the Healthcare Sector that will burgeon over the next few years (I'm a strong supporter of this sector 'cos it was one of my career options after my As).
