I chose the Common ICT Programme (CIP) because of my interest in the field of Information Technology (IT) and my desire to explore various IT specialisations. The education and career guidance sessions helped me better understand my personality and interests, while the knowledge and experiences I gained from CIP provided valuable insights into these specialisations. Through CIP, I was motivated to pursue Diploma in Digital Design & Development (now known as Diploma in Information Technology, and this has opened doors to a myriad of opportunities including industry-relevant events, projects and an overseas internship in Japan.
