Choosing the ICT strand in senior high is a smart move for students who want a career in tech. It gives them the basics in computing, programming, and digital communication needed for many jobs in the industry.
We asked two ICT students, Alyssa and John Mark, why they picked the strand and what tech jobs they hope to get.
Alyssa: Turning a Hobby into a High-Tech Career
Alyssa: Turning a Hobby into a High-Tech Career
For Alyssa, the choice was because of its alignment to her future career and hobby:
"I chose the ICT strand as it is related to my future career, and I wish to learn more within the strand. The ICT related career I wish to pursue in the future is being a Quality Assurance/Game Tester. I want to be a game tester as it has always been my hobby/talent to test games. I always found joy in doing so."
That's super cool! It proves that you can actually study what you love. The ICT strand helps her learn all the technical stuff she'll need to know to find and report bugs so games are perfect when they launch.
