As the demand for mental health specialists continues to rise post-pandemic, SEGi’s Psychology Club took a proactive step in organizing a career talk to shed light on the opportunities and prospects within the field of psychology. The event aimed to guide students, particularly those enrolled in the subject “Orientation in Psychology,” towards understanding the nuances of a career as a psychology officer.
The career talk featured a distinguished guest speaker, Pn Nismawati, a psychology officer from Universiti Malaya. With the increasing need for mental health support, psychologists are witnessing a surge in demand for the treatment of anxiety and depression. Pn Nismawati’s insights provided invaluable guidance to students considering a career in psychology, offering a firsthand account of her personal journey and the specific pathway she took to build her career.
The session was not only informative but also presented in a light-hearted manner, making it engaging and accessible to the students. Pn Nismawati’s talk covered various aspects, including her own experiences, challenges faced, and the rewarding aspects of being a psychology officer. The interactive nature of the talk allowed students ample opportunities to ask questions and seek clarification on both the subject of psychology and the career trajectory of psychology officers.
The Psychology Club’s initiative to bring in a seasoned professional like Pn Nismawati reflects the commitment of SEGi to equip its students with real-world insights and guidance. As SEGi continues to foster a supportive and informed community, it remains dedicated to organizing events that empower students with knowledge about potential career paths, especially in fields as vital and relevant as psychology.
