SUTD president Chong Tow Chong said those who took part in The Piscine recorded a high pass rate of 63.6 per cent, above the average of all 50 42 campuses worldwide.
“Let’s move beyond where people are pigeonholed into what they can do according to their previous certifications,” he added. They will also take part in one or two six-month industry placement exercises as part of the specialisation programme. With the help of online tutorials and resources, Mr Syafik added basic coding to his repertoire of self-taught skills, like photography and videography, which he trains students in.
“For the sake of survival, I picked up new skills like being a barista and going into training by chance. You could say going into coding was also by chance,” he said. Mr Mohamed Syafik Mhd Isa and Ms Louisa Nonis are among the students in 42SG’s inaugural cohort. ST PHOTO: DESMOND WEE
