Helping You Crush Your Career & Business Goals
After studying Home Science at the secondary level, there are quite a few career options you can explore outside the home. Here are six, along with a quick reason for each:
- Preschool or Daycare Assistant – Home Science covers child development, so you’d already have a basic understanding of working with young children.
- Catering Assistant – Your knowledge of nutrition and meal planning can be applied in restaurants, canteens, or event catering.
- Retail Associate in Home Goods or Food Stores – You’ll have an eye for quality products and can guide customers on things like fabric care, kitchen tools, or healthy food choices.
- Tailoring or Clothing Store Assistant – Home Science teaches fabric knowledge and basic stitching skills, which are valuable in fashion retail or alterations.
- Community Health Worker – You can help spread awareness about hygiene, nutrition, and healthy living in community programs.
- Bakery or Café Assistant – If you enjoyed the food science aspect, working in a bakery or café lets you use those skills while learning more on the job.
The common thread here is that Home Science gives you a mix of practical life skills — from food prep to child care to home management — that can be applied in many entry-level roles right after secondary school.
