Hear from our TCP students!
Under The Christieara Programme (TCP), I was given the opportunity to attend many talent development activities. The exposure allowed me to hone my critical thinking, leadership and soft skills! They also offered me support throughout my university applications
by taking me through mock interviews, personal branding workshops and scholarship workshops.
Being under The Christieara Programme gave me multiple opportunities that have actively helped me with my PSC Scholarship application. I also took part in a public service mentorship programme by The Astronauts Collective, a non-profit organisation that supports youths to discover meaningful careers. With the chance to interact with public servants I was able to learn firsthand, more about a career in the public service – something I am keen on!
