*✨ From “What do I study?” to “What impact will I make?” ✨*
Our Grade 10–12 students just had their _lightbulb moment_ 💡
At today’s Career Enhancement Session with HR veteran Mrs. Razia Khatoon SHRM-SCP, they stopped thinking “just a job” and started thinking “my future, my impact.”
*Real talk they took home:*
1. *Skills that pay* – the top 5 workplace competencies companies actually want in 2026
2. *Smart subject choices* – how today’s Math/Science/Business classes = tomorrow’s career doors
3. *Confidence* – tools to map their own path, not just follow one
Mrs. Razia didn’t give a lecture. She gave them a roadmap. And you could see it click on their faces 🚀
*Thank you Mrs. Razia* for turning “career confusion” into “career clarity” for our Dunes students! 💼🌟
