From intern to BIM professional - where you start doesn’t define where you finish.
Last week, BCA Academy welcomed over 90 Higher Nitec students from ITE College East for a learning journey that we hope stays with them long after the visit.
Our guest speaker, Er. Jeffrey Ng, Director of DP Engineers, didn’t just talk about the Built Environment sector. He shared the journey of a team member who started exactly where many of these students are today (ITE). Through determination and continuous upskilling, she now works as a BIM Assistant at DP Engineers.
For students still mapping out their futures, hearing that story from a senior industry leader carries real weight. Er. Ng also spoke about mentoring BCA Academy interns at DP Engineers. It was a reminder that industry exposure isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s what bridges classroom learning to career readiness.
To the ITE students who joined us: the Built Environment needs people like you, who are curious, hands-on, and willing to grow. Our Integrated Work-Study Diploma (IWSD) programmes (https://go.gov.sg/bcaa-dip) are designed to walk that journey with you.
Thank you, Er. Jeffrey Ng and DP Engineers, for your time and generosity in inspiring the next generation. 🙏
