Expo 2020 volunteers welcomed the TPSians, who expressed their optimistic experiences, at the Visitor’s Centre in Jebel Ali on November 19, 2018.
“I enjoyed creating press advertisement using Comic Life application, where we have to think of job descriptions, associated with employment experiences and academic qualifications needed in the UAE and the job market,” said Nylsen De Villena, a senior high school student.
The Grade 11 students explored the opportunity to know more about the Expo 2020, a global platform for numerous companies and people to showcase their latest ideas and innovations from October 20, 2020 until April 10, 2021 .
They had the chance to experience the Tinkering Studio where they were acquainted with the different expos around the world.
Facilitators also provided activities that tackle about careers in the future.
“It is automatic that 65% of students will be working jobs that do not exist yet,” said Noora Al Booshi, the volunteer-facilitator engaged with the school communities.
