On March 26, 2025, Utahloy International School Guangzhou (UISG) hosted its bustling ‘Life After High School’ Fair in the Multi-Function Hall, bringing together students from Y9 to Y12 across UISG and UISZ campuses.
As an IB World School committed to nurturing globally minded, lifelong learners, UISG designed this event to bridge classroom learning with real-world aspirations. Through panel discussions, industry booths, and university consultations, students explored how critical thinking and interdisciplinary skills cultivated in the IB program can translate into future academic and career success.
Panel Discussions
Insights into Resilience, AI, and Future Education
Three dynamic panel sessions delved into career challenges, technological shifts, and evolving academic landscapes, featuring experts from tech, education, finance, and higher education:
Panel Discussions
1. Harnessing the Power of Setbacks
Panelists reflected on how professional hurdles—from scientific experimentation to entrepreneurial risks—shape resilience. One guest highlighted, “Early setbacks often lay the groundwork for future decisions,” emphasizing the value of reflective learning.
2. Core Competencies in the AI Era
Amid automation, speakers underscored irreplaceable human skills: creativity, problem-solving, and cross-cultural collaboration. A tech expert noted, “The future belongs to those who master tools, not those replaced by them.”
3. The Future Landscape of Higher Education
University representatives discussed emerging interdisciplinary fields like data ethics and sustainable design, stressing adaptability. “Success lies not just in choosing a major, but in applying knowledge to real-world challenges,” shared an admissions officer.

2025年3月26日，广州誉德莱外籍人员子女学校（UISG）多功能厅内人头攒动，一场以“Life After High School”为主题的生涯规划博览会吸引了UISG与UISZ校区Y9至Y12的全体学生。
作为一所IB世界学校，UISG始终致力于培养具有全球视野与终身学习能力的未来领袖。
本次活动不仅为学生搭建了与行业精英、顶尖大学对话的平台，更通过深度讨论与互动体验，助力学子们思考如何将IB课程中的批判性思维、跨学科能力转化为未来的职业与学术优势。
三大主题 Panel
从反思到行动，解锁成长维度
活动围绕职业发展、学术趋势与个人成长展开三场Panel讨论，来自科技、教育、金融等领域的嘉宾与高校代表分享了多元洞见：
三大主题Panel
1. 从挫折中汲取力量
嘉宾们探讨了职业道路上的挑战如何塑造个人韧性。讨论中提到，无论是科研领域的反复实验，还是创业中的风险应对，成长往往源于对失败的反思与调整。一位嘉宾提到：“年轻时经历的挫折，往往成为未来决策的重要参考。”
2. AI时代的核心竞争力
面对自动化与人工智能的普及，嘉宾们强调“人类独有技能”的价值：创造力、复杂问题解决能力与跨文化协作力。例如，技术领域的专家指出，未来职场更需要“能驾驭工具的人，而非被工具取代的人”。
3. 高等教育的未来图景
大学招生官分享了新兴学位趋势，如数据伦理、可持续设计等跨学科领域，并建议学生保持学术灵活性与终身学习意识。一位高校代表提到：“未来的成功不仅取决于专业选择，更在于如何将知识转化为解决实际问题的能力。”

UISG 特色
全人教育照进职业探索
作为IB学校，UISG在此次活动中融入了独特的育人视角：

- 跨学科思维赋能：学生从新兴行业趋势中意识到，打破学科边界的能力（如结合科学与社会科学）正成为稀缺优势；
- 升学支持网络：大学招生官针对IB学生的学术背景，提供了个性化申请策略，例如通过TOK论文展示思辨深度。
“
学生声音
从迷茫到清晰
活动结束后，学生们对未来的思考呈现出更清晰的轮廓。
- 许多参与者提到，曾经抽象的“职业规划”通过真实的行业对话变得触手可及——从课堂上的理论知识到展位中的技术演示，他们开始意识到，即便是日常的社团管理、课题研究，也能成为未来发展的基石。
- 低年级学生则表现出对学科实践价值的重新审视，例如物理与工程的现实应用、社科研究与公共政策的联动等，这些发现让课本知识焕发出新的生命力。
“Life After High School”不仅是一场博览会，更是一扇打开未来的窗。在这里，学生通过与行业先锋的对话、与高校代表的交流，逐步勾勒出属于自己的成长路径。
未来，UISG将继续整合全球资源，助力每一位IB学子在充满变数的世界中，书写属于自己的成长篇章。
