Alumni Testimonials
The NP–SMU University Pathway Programme opened doors to university life early, giving me a firsthand experience of its academic structure, courses, and student culture. It sparked new interests, strengthened my critical thinking, and boosted my confidence in managing university-level learning. This journey has been truly inspiring, preparing me to approach future academic challenges with curiosity and enthusiasm, while fast-tracking my degree completion.
The diverse and practical electives at ICT allowed me to discover new interests and apply what I learned to real-world contexts. These experiences greatly benefited my Final Year Project and influenced the direction of my career path.
One of the best decisions I made was joining ICT. Not only did I become a better programmer, but I also developed leadership skills and a business owner’s mindset during my time at NP. Thanks to ICT, I had the opportunity to participate in the WorldSkills competition, an experience that has made a significant impact in my life.
My internship provided a holistic understanding of the creation process, helping me develop more practical and intuitive designs. Through IM, I learnt that design goes beyond aesthetics; it must also be functional and meet the needs of those who require it the most.
At NP, I discovered that success in IT isn't about mastering every technology, but about developing problem-solving skills, adaptability and the ability to plan. Today, I'm one of 50 developers worldwide recognised by Apple, organise iOS Conf SG and speak at events globally. My journey, from learning at NP to applying my skills in the real world, showed me how the right foundation can open doors to exciting opportunities.
My analytics project at NP exposed me to real-world challenges, from data bias to messy, unstructured data. I learnt that only by thoroughly scrutinising data can we uncover meaningful insights and tell compelling stories. Today, as a Machine Learning Engineer at SAP, I apply that same foundation every day. NP taught me how to turn complext data into meaningful insights that drive real-world impact.
The breadth of exposure I received at NP gave me a strong head start when I pursued my postgraduate studies in cybersecurity. The steep learning curve was more manageable because I had already encountered similar modules during my diploma. With support from the SG Scholarship, I was able to pursue further studies and chart my career in the cybersecurity industry. NP's emphasis on applied learning continues to help me adapt to a rapidly evolving field, opening doors to opportunities both in further education and industry.
When I entered polytechnic, I wasnt sure which path to pursue. CICTP gave me the opportunity to explore different ICT specialisations before committing to one. One of my most memorable experiences was Dell InnovateFest, where my team developed Fuku, a digital companion for caregivers. Seeing how our product could improve people's daily lives was incredibly rewarding. Today, I'm pursuing Computer Science at NUS and have been awarded the PSC Scholarship. My advice? Explore before you commit -- you'll find your path.

Throughout the internship, the students will benefit from career mentoring and a curated learning experience, aimed at deepening their core skills and exposing them to the latest web technologies.
Impactful Internships
I was drawn to the OCBC Technology Young Talent programme as it offers a one-year curated internship experience with exposure to technology areas of my interest. Since then, I’ve honed technical and soft skills like networking and project management; and even received personalised mentorship in data engineering as well as valuable career insights. To top it off, I’ve learnt more about state-of-the-art technologies including the world’s first enterprise data cloud system, Cloudera, and data governance tools such as Apache Rangers.
This programme has allowed me to tackle real-world issues using tech. Every new project required me to explore new areas in tech outside my technical specialisation such as log management, Android app development, as well as the use of Arduino boards and circuits. I joined the internship with an open mind and took it as an opportunity to learn and experience as many new things as possible.
