Hear from our student
“RP equipped me with the skills and experience needed to be industry-ready by providing opportunities to apply my knowledge in a simulated work setting. The diploma not only gave me essential engineering skills aligned with real-world professional demands but also helped me develop practical abilities crucial for success in dynamic industries. The knowledge and skillsets I gained at RP were instrumental in helping me secure the Singapore-Industry Scholarship (SgIS) for my degree studies at the School of EEE, NTU. More than that, RP inspired me to pursue a #GreaterPurpose through engineering innovation.”— Khairunnisa Binte Hazman, 2023 Graduate
