Article featured SP alumna Goh Xin Yi, who is currently working as a management executive at the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). She recounts how she put her dream of furthering her studies on hold to support her family. As a young adult, she had always considered pursuing higher education after obtaining a Diploma in Integrated Events and Project Management from SP in 2014, but her family’s financial situation did not permit this. She later joined the ICA as an assistant management executive in 2017, and secured a scholarship by the Ministry of Home Affairs’ (MHA).
