Internship Experience - Temasek Secondary

During the March school holidays, we had the pleasure of hosting an aspiring youth from Temasek Secondary as a student intern here at Make The Change (MTC). Here are some highlights of his internship journey, where he demonstrated enthusiasm and passion throughout his events. 

Aloysius’ Journey 

Hello World Fest

At the Hello World Fest, Aloysius had the opportunity to interact with as well as listen to insightful talks from youth entrepreneurs. By introducing MTC to interested students and visitors, he himself also learnt more about us, of which he found an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. 

This event also helped Aloysius discover new insights and skills, including the significance of publicity and marketing while hosting an event, and how to engage his audience more effectively. Overall, helping out at this festival was an enjoyable start to his journey here at MTC. 

B The Change Workshop

Aloysius learnt how businesses can operate sustainably and ethically while driving positive change. This B-Corp workshop provided networking opportunities, allowing him to meet and engage with like-minded peers and professionals. 

Aloysius’ Reflection

"These experiences are undoubtedly important for my future pursuits, and have given me more confidence in starting my own ventures."

Overall, Aloysius thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the hands-on experience he gained through his week-long internship. He found even the smallest things, such as his morning commute or working in an office, valuable and exciting.

Visiting new places and meeting new people were Aloysius’ highlights; getting to talk to young entrepreneurs, experienced innovators, and the amazing MTC team taught him crucial lessons and made him feel welcome every step of the way. This programme has been a valuable learning experience that strengthened his confidence and deepened his understanding of what it takes to pursue future ventures with confidence.  

We are heartened to see his genuine openness to learning and his willingness to fully immerse himself in each task throughout this journey. Looking forward to more young minds making meaningful change, just as Aloysius did!
