INTERNSHIPS

Internships provide some of the best opportunities for our students to get exposure to the processes of work, and to acquire the skills necessary to work with others, within the structure of a workplace. In this year of review, more than 3,600 students were successfully attached to industries both locally and overseas.

Many of these internships have shown up the clear talents that TP has developed. A Communications & Media Management student who was attached to the Singapore Press Holdings demonstrated her excellent journalistic skills, even when pitted against senior journalists. She clinched the coveted Feature of the Month award for her article on youth subcultures published in The Straits Times.

Another talented intern was an Information Technology student who had a four-month attachment in Seattle, USA, with Philips Medical Systems. There, he performed Quality Assurance Testing on data management solution systems that were used to extract information from defibrillators used to revive cardiac victims. As an active Microsoft Student Champion who conducted numerous workshops and talks on the latest trends and technologies, and having won Microsoft’s Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award, he was also invited to the Microsoft Headquarters in Redmond while he was there.
