21 Jul 2023

Article featured SP alumnus and runner-up in the IT Network Systems Administration category at WorldSkills Singapore (WSS) 2023, Mohamed Aathif, who is spending his break before enlistment practising for his next milestone: going up against the best of the best at the WorldSkills ASEAN 2023 competition. For the first time ever, the WorldSkills ASEAN 2023 will be hosted by Singapore, and Aathif is among one of the top youth talents from 10 ASEAN nations who will be competing. During his time in SP as a computer engineering student, Aathif explored different aspects of computing and found that he had a particular interest in IT Network systems. While Aathif had not heard about WSS at first, he learnt of the competition after a friend was selected to compete. At the encouragement of his lecturers, Aathif decided to participate as well. He came in second in his category, and was able to advance to WorldSkills ASEAN 2023. Currently, Aathif spends his time practising for the competition with a junior from his alma mater, who also helps him with research for the competition.
