Learning Journey

Is your student thinking about going to poly and pursuing a career in tourism and hospitality? Then register for our Learning Journey (LJ) programme!

Learning Journey@SOH is a series of complimentary experiential activities that give your students a glimpse of learning in a polytechnic and empower them to make more informed choices after their O and N-Levels. The hands-on activities are designed to encourage students’ participation and allow them to discover their interests. Students will also have the opportunity to discover diplomas in the hospitality industry and gain an appreciation of the business operations behind the scenes.

Students will get a chance to tour our state-of-the-art learning and training facilities, and experience SOH’s practical approach to learning first-hand. Our LJ activities are designed to mimic actual SOH diploma modules and include exercises like:
