Besides strengthening the existing Alumni Network, we extend alumni networking beyond the shores of Singapore to:

  • Allow alumni who are overseas to keep in touch as well as remain connected to ITE;
  • Provide an avenue for alumni in Singapore with common interests to network with fellow alumni overseas and vice versa;
  • Provide mutual help among alumni while overseas and assist members who are newly stationed overseas to settle in;
  • Provide the link with other overseas alumni groups (such as those from the other Institutes of Higher Learning) to interact and explore business opportunity; and
  • Provide a platform for successful alumni overseas, who are entrepreneurs and professionals, to promote technical education through:
    • Sharing with alumni and ITE students their experiences overseas and in setting up ventures;
    • Providing overseas attachment for ITE students and lecturers; and
    • Facilitating recruitment of ITE graduates for overseas work.
