Overview of TDP
About 4 years ago, MENDAKI Club approached the Malay Language teachers of Anderson Junior College and proposed their intention to work closely with the Malay/Muslim students, both in terms of developing their talent in academics as well as life skills. From this the Mentoring Initiative was developed, where working professionals were matched with students, allowing students to have a better idea of their career options after they graduated. The collaboration was a successful one and this eventually inspired the club members to throw a wider net to get other JC students to be involved. The programme further developed, with the inclusion of post secondary students from other junior colleges and madrasahs, and eventually evolved into the Talent Development Programme (TDP).
TDP for the new cohort of JC students was launched in August 2007 by our Guest-of-Honour, Mr Zainuddin Nordin, Mayor for Central Singapore CDC and Member of Parliament for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC. A total of 100 students had signed up to participate and since then many have been involved in the various sessions/events tailored for them. Among others, we had conducted the Terrorism dialogue session, hosted by National Junior College, a career seminar on the Arts, and a mock Scholarship Interview workshop. More career seminars and life skills training would be conducted throughout this year to cater to the needs of our aspiring and enthusiastic young future leaders.
With a team of dedicated volunteers
