Internship Experience - St. Anthony Canossian Secondary School

Adriana & Shreya

Before starting their next chapter at Temasek Poly, two students from St. Anthony’s Canossian Secondary School spent two weeks with us this January. They were eager to learn and contribute, taking on meaningful roles that supported our event planning and content creation efforts.

What were they involved in?

They supported outreach efforts for media coverage for our Youth For Change Final Showcase—a key event celebrating the projects of young changemakers across Singapore. They were also present as youth volunteers during the event itself, assisting in operations and interacting with various stakeholders. Their contribution helped ensure the event ran smoothly and received the attention it deserved.

The students were exposed to important operational tasks that kept things running smoothly behind the scenes. From helping with vendor selection for our competitions, to ensuring that our internal databases are up to date, they gained a broader understanding of how minute details contribute to the success of a larger initiative.

One unique aspect of their internship was the chance to observe trainers in action during workshops. Through their observations, they shared thoughtful feedback on the trainer's overall delivery.

"They gave me a huge opportunity to learn and grow as a person personally and professionally" - Shreya

"Hearing the story of a photographer who used his skills to empower migrant worker communities, I realised we didn't need to be incredibly skilled to make a difference. Just working with our existing talents could be enough to benefit society." - Adriana

This internship not only exposed them to the mechanics of programme planning and communications, but also empowered them to think critically and contribute meaningfully.
