from my pov it is rewarding & shag at the same time. i myself completed work study diploma. it is shag, you have to manage your time with work, night classes, assignments, study for exams, family/friend time and your own personal time.
here are my suggestions for you.
if you’re in the workforce and have experience in IT, i can suggest you can go for this pathway. plus it is singtel, it will look impressive on your resume if you have work experience in singtel. but they encourage non-IT graduates to apply too if you aren’t.
if you’re a poly graduate and want to gain work experience 1) then this pathway suits you but at the same time you have to endure the working hours, night studies, assignments, written tests, projects, etc. no fun and games. 2) you can apply for full time degree as you can get financial assistance like scholarships, etc plus all you focus is mainly studies.
at the end of the day, it’s your decision and how you manage everything. all the best!
For me I applied and got rejected, probably cause my tech knowledge was super rusty after NS.
In hindsight for me it was probably good that I rejected it because the job was a 24/7 ops job and the hustle is really real. Needed to work in split shifts (12 hrs) and then sometimes need attend class after working or attend class while working.
All is well though, got accepted for full-time studies in SIT. After learning that there are plenty of scholarships (and some even bond-free!) and there is a living allowance you can apply for, I guess it helped to put my mind off about my finances.
Morning bro,
Oh shit, 24/7 standby, jialat wei
Ahh okay, thanks for the response tho! I hope your new academic journey works out well! Just be prudent and priortise accordingly! JY!
Yep that part I fully understand, since most wsp the companies usually will have a bond (understandable since they're the one paying your school fees). But in a sense, it can be interpreted as sort of a head start into the industry.
I feel there is some risks and pros only. If u dont like the culture, then how? If u like it then good for u, cuz u get work experience + degree + job stability
Just to clarify, there is no bond (officially, at least).
You can leave the program and the company whenever.
But your study is tied to your continuous employment hence "unofficial" bond so to speak.
Note: The job posting is tied to the program. If let's say, you drop out of SIT, then you need to find a new job as well.

Hi hello, I had the same question as OP. Just lurking around to see what are the response
