What Our Students Say
Feedback for speaker session with Mr Allan Teng (Workato):
- I enjoyed the interactive conversation between speakers and us, which gave us many ideas about startup companies
- Mr Teng was very engaging and articulate and he shared a lot of very raw personal insight, opinions and anecdotes on his tough journey which would be difficult to find online.
- The speaker helped to clearly answer questions from our perspective (eg what kind of companies should we aim for when applying for internships and the reasons why start-up companies offer more learning experiences as compared to large scale corporations) & how to identify if one should pursue and develop their idea or if they should recognise it as a failure and take a break from it.
Feedback for speaker session with Ms Phua Huijia (Skillseed)
- I learnt that if we are willing to take a chance, sometimes it is possible to achieve the things we want that we thought would be impossible.
- I learnt that youths around the world are mostly very passionate about the same things, because I would expect that youths in Singapore would have very different priorities compared to those form other countries
- Ms Phua was highly engaging and shared many inspiring stories of her experiences which nurtured her to start Skillseed.
