16 May Career GPS: Credit Suisse (26 Apr 2019)
Friday 26th April 2019
We are incredibly privileged to be able to be attend Credit Suisse’s excITE! program.
More than 40 students from Westwood Secondary School and West Spring Secondary School had the rare opportunity to visit the Trading Floor at Credit Suisse; as they gained valuable insights into the daily work being done there, as well as the staff’s journey from being a student to an employee at Credit Suisse.
The students were also greatly inspired by Mr. Herman Kamarudin’s sharing, whose journey from being an ITE student to a staff of Credit Suisse, and in the process, fulfilling his dream of becoming a pilot, struck a chord with the audience.
The session concluded with intimate small-group discussions facilitated by former excITE! mentors. Students were able to ask any question with regards to the mentors’ personal life journey and their work at Credit Suisse.
Two hours flew by. At the end of the session, students still lingered at the lift lobby, conversing with the mentors.
We would like to thank Credit Suisse once again for inviting us for this meaningful excITE! program. We sincerely hope that there will be an opportunity for our other beneficiaries to benefit from this program.
