Your Talent, Your Choice

On May 15, 2026, the lecture “Your Talent, Your Choice” took place as part of the School and Professional Guidance Program for the final years of the cycle (9th and 12th grade). This initiative was promoted by the Psychology and Guidance Services (SPO) in conjunction with the Management of the Montemor-o-Velho School Group, aiming to reinforce the decision-making process regarding the academic and professional future of our students.

In the morning session (from 9:30 am to 11:30 am), students were joined by a group of guest speakers, all former students of our school, who shared their academic and professional journeys to date. Throughout their presentations, they discussed the choices they made, the challenges they faced, and the talents and skills that contributed to their professional success. This activity provided a more realistic and informed perspective on different fields of study and their respective career paths, helping to reduce insecurities associated with future decisions and fostering a closer connection to the world of work through direct contact with real and inspiring testimonials.

Finally, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the participants (speakers) who dedicated their time and professional commitments to be present, as well as to all the collaborators who helped us with all the logistics that this type of meeting requires.
