1. Set Up Your Professional Email
It's time to retire pinky_xoxo and vampy_247!
We strongly recommend having a professional email address that you can use throughout your time at PTEM and beyond. Your email address is often one of the first things people see when you contact universities, scholarship providers or potential employers, so make a good first impression.
Already have a professional email address that includes your name or initials? Great! You can keep using it — there's no need to create another one.
What makes a professional email address?
What makes a professional email address?
Keep it simple, clear and easy to recognise. Common formats include:
First name and surname: johnsmith@gmail.com
First name and surname initial: johns@gmail.com
First initial and surname: jsmith@gmail.com
If your preferred address is already taken, try a variation using your initials or a number that is appropriate and professional.
Which email provider should you use?
Which email provider should you use?
We recommend Gmail because the Careers Section uses Google tools for many of its resources and activities. A Gmail account also gives you access to useful Google services.
Think long-term: Choose an address you'll still feel comfortable using when applying to university, scholarships and jobs. Your email address should grow with you!
Your task: Set up your Gmail and make it a habit to check it.

5. Understand CES
CES (Career Education Syllabus) is your personal career development journey at PTEM.
It helps you explore your options, identify your strengths and interests, plan your next steps and put those plans into action.
Your CES logbook is where you record your exploration, experiences, skills, achievements and plans throughout sixth form.
Want to know more? You can find more information about CES at the bottom of this page or visit our CES page (Click here).
Your task: Read through the CES resources and start using your CES logbook.
Deadline for all FIVE tasks (including the CES 3.0 as below) is 2nd March 2026. If you can finish it now, even better! 😀
Don't Miss Out on Opportunities!
Don't Miss Out on Opportunities!
These tasks are important. The Careers Section shares opportunities such as overseas programmes, scholarships, university events and attachments through our official communication channels.
If you haven't joined these channels or completed the required tasks, you may miss announcements and opportunities simply because the information never reaches you.
It's your responsibility to stay connected, keep your information updated and take action when opportunities arise. We can help you explore your options, but you need to take the first step!
