LIFE AND CAREER SKILLS - New Core Subject in Strengthened SHS Curriculum (CG Comprehensive Overview)

Teacher Rolly C. Franco introduces the new 'Life and Career Skills' subject, which is being implemented in pilot senior high schools for the 2025-2026 school year. The subject aims to improve student readiness for college and employment by developing professionalism and personal relationship skills.

This module focuses on self-awareness, developmental stages from adolescence to adulthood, self-regulation, and holistic health, including fitness and mindfulness activities.

This section covers building healthy relationships in various contexts such as home, school, and community. Key topics include effective communication, empathy, conflict resolution, and collaborative activities.

Students explore career planning, workplace dynamics, labor rights, and professional etiquette. This extensive section covers everything from salary structures and employee benefits to maintaining proper behavior in a professional environment.

The final quarter prepares students for their post-SHS paths, whether in higher education or the workforce. It emphasizes practical skills like filling out formal documents, creating resumes, preparing for interviews, and understanding entrepreneurship.

The host emphasizes the value of the new curriculum while noting that as it is currently under review for pilot implementation, some content may still be subject to adjustments. He stresses the importance of teacher training and industry partnerships for successful implementation.
