Through TAP, I not only prepared for the professional world but also discovered more about myself and grew in confidence as I step into new opportunities. TomoWork became a guiding light for my employment, not just during TAP.
Experiences such as the corporate project, workshops, and mentorship sessions that were provided in TAP, helped me to be more confident when I switched career paths.
Additionally, I am grateful to the TomoWork staff for their post-programme support, through which I managed to join the Skills Ignition Traineeship Programme at Google.
