From Intern to Employee: A Graduate’s Journey with A*STAR ARTC

My internship at A*STAR ARTC (Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre) was invaluable, allowing me to apply classroom knowledge to real-world projects. I gained technical and communication skills, grew professionally, and built confidence in applying engineering knowledge to real-world problems. I'm grateful to Ngee Ann Polytechnic and A*STAR ARTC for this opportunity, which prepared me for my career and led to my current role at A*STAR ARTC.
