Careers Rising

An outstanding Careers department provides students guidance to the world’s top universities; inspiration through our “Think & Thrive” entrepreneurial speaker series which brings in industry professionals and entrepreneurs; mentorship to secure summer workplace internships; and extensive career counselling. By the time our students graduate from school, they stand out as model students with the confidence, skills and preparedness for university and the workplace thereafter.

Sunmarke graduates go onto the world’s top universities like Carnegie Mellon, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Georgia Tech, UCLA, University of Toronto, Imperial College, University of Exeter, University of Birmingham, University of Bristol, Durham University, University of Exeter, University of St. Andrews, and the University of Melbourne, amongst others.

Personalized Career and University Guidance at Sunmarke helps to ensure that all students are prepared for the Post 18 transition. Using our Unifrog portal, students can explore a variety of career pathways suited towards their interests. In addition, they may use Unifrog to search for universities around the world that match their interests and preferred pathways. Timely career lessons, regularly scheduled university visits and fairs, and one on one meetings with our Career Counselor help students to map out their future.

In addition, Fortes Education invites speakers from a variety of career backgrounds to come to share their journeys with students through our Think and Thrive series. Parents are also an important part of the conversation and they are invited to frequent SUNRISE sessions which cover all matters related to university admissions and transition to universities across the world.
