1,500 ITE students to get career prep support under new NTUC-ITE initiative

15 Jul 2023

More than 1,500 ITE students will receive support preparing for their careers through employment opportunities and career mentorships. National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) secretary-general Ng Chee Meng announced its partnership with ITE on Friday at Young NTUC’s annual symposium, Lit Discovery 2023. NTUC and ITE signed a memorandum of understanding at the event. Through the partnership, ITE students will be given sector-specific career mentorships, undergo pre-employment workshops and learning journeys to potential employers’ companies as well as have work opportunities. The NTUC Starter Membership for individuals aged between 18 and 25 was also launched at the symposium and offers them numerous benefits in work and play. One of the young people at the event was SP Diploma in Business Administration Pay Yu Xuan, who found out about the symposium event through the polytechnic. “I think such events are still helpful to me as I’ve already started to think about things like insurance and investing – I want to plan ahead for my future,” Yu Xuan said.
