“I hope to be able to make a difference, big or small, in the lives of others”. Aspiring to be a lawyer & to give back to society, Temasek Polytechnic student Cheng Ewe-Hsuen took a talent management track in the TomoWork Talent Explorer Programme to understand more about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. Gareth Chua, a similarly enthusiastic Institute Technical of Education student, chose the digital analytics track to further develop what he had learnt in school.

Through the corporate sharing & mentoring sessions provided in this programme, 60 participants from various institutions were able to explore emerging professions in the #FutureOfWork & gained valuable insights to further their personal & professional growth. On top of that, this programme offered a unique experience where students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in Singapore could form a close-knitted community that shared similar lived experiences. Quoting Gareth, “It was a good experience & I got to meet other special needs students from other schools. I made some great friends.”
