ITE’s New Buzzword…Going Global
Mr Ng Jin Kian, Executive Engineer from Beca Engineering Consulting (Shanghai) Company Ltd is perfectly at home at Beijing. He prepares mechanical drawings of buildings and spends his days meeting clients, consultants and contractors. Going global is the new buzzword for ITE graduates like Jin Kian. The ITE Advantage Plan, ITE’s strategic plan for the next five years, has a global orientation, as its vision is to be a Global Leader in Technical Education. What this translates to for ITE graduates is that they will be equipped with skills required to take on the world.

Book on Bouncing Back from Business Failures Launched
Failure in business - how do you cope? More importantly, how do you bounce back from failure and start anew? A new book, entitled “Out of the Ashes: Trials and Tribulations of a Phoenix”, captures the experiences of how eight established entrepreneurs overcame crushing business failures to start successful businesses. These entrepreneurs hail from a wide variety of businesses, including fashion, real estate, logistics, courier and education services. The book is written by a group of ITE staff. Entrepreneurs featured in the book include Dr Richard Tan, CEO of Success Resources.

Singapore’s successful experience in promoting technical education has inspired Mr Tjerk Dusseldorp, President of WorldSkills who felt that Singapore is a good role model, having established a sound and robust technical education system. Mr Dusseldorp and other WorldSkills officials also felt that ITE is in a vantage position to help WorldSkills develop a global skills portal.

The World’s at our Feet!

Rejoice, Singapore! There is every reason to. Not only had we made other countries sit up and take notice of our capabilities in IT at the recent 38th WorldSkills Competition (WSC) in Helsinki, Finland, we brought every single audience at the 38th WSC Prize Presentation and Closing Ceremony up on their feet. All thanks to Viridis Liew, who certainly deserved the standing ovation and our heartiest congratulations after her record-breaking feat.…
