Learn While You Work

Just a few months after completing his National Service, Abdul Matin Bin Mohd Salim, a Guest Services Executive (Concierge) from Conrad Centennial Singapore, took up our Work-Study Certificate leading to Diploma in Business Practice (Hospitality Management).

The work-study arrangement allows him to deepen the skills and knowledge that he has gained in school, and supported his transition into the work place.

 
I am grateful for all the support the hotel has given me throughout my time here. Juggling between work and study for the past two years has not been easy, but it’s the people that I work with that keep me going. We overcome all challenges together by helping each other based on our strengths and abilities.

Diving Into a New Industry

Lim Yee Hui, who decided to go back to school after spending years in the workforce, believes that keeping an open mind, being disciplined, and having perseverance is the secret to success in times of uncertainty.

After observing that digitalisation was taking place so quickly, especially with the pandemic, she decided to pursue the Specialist Diploma in User Experience (UX) for Infocomm Technology at her alma mater, Republic Polytechnic (RP), in October 2020.

While Yee Hui had no previous experience in UX design and ICT, she persevered with the support and guidance of her lecturers and classmates. She attributes her continued success in the course to the RP’s conducive learning environment and practice-oriented classes, which frequently include simulations of real-life workplace situations.

Going forward, Yee Hui hopes to join the UXUI industry to apply her newly-acquired knowledge and skills.

 
Not only [did my lecturers impart] knowledge that is not taught in books, but also [from] the effort that they put in, [you can tell that] they wish for us to succeed in what we want to achieve out of this course.

Forging a new career path in his 40s

Vimalan Shawn

Vimalan Shawn's poly diploma is a big step forward in his pursuit of his dream career in medical research

Vimalan Shawn might not seem like a typical polytechnic graduate. However, his enrolment in RP's part-time Diploma in Applied Science (Medical Laboratory Science) marked a big step forward in the steady pursuit of his dream career in medical research.

Shawn has been working since he was 18 years old. Although he completed his O-Levels prior to signing on with the Air Force, he did not further his studies until two decades later. Recognising Shawn’s lifelong fascination with science and research, his wife suggested that he enrol in RP's diploma. He signed up for the part-time Diploma in Applied Science in 2018, juggling work and studies throughout his upskilling journey.

Shawn shares that he enjoyed the course’s focus on medical laboratory science and the multi-campus delivery format, where lecturers from all five polytechnics conduct lectures and tutorials. He also mentions how he was drawn to RP, citing its active collaboration with the National Healthcare Group in providing an educational platform for developing clinical science and biomedical research talent.

Shawn, who has now graduated intends to take up an offer from the University of Saskatchewan in Canada to pursue a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science in Health Studies, majoring in biology and health development.

 
When the CET diploma was offered, it presented me [with] a second chance to fulfil my dreams. I saw it as an opportune moment to equip, reskill and enrich myself to meet the demands of an increasingly demanding society.
