OCBC Expects To Take On Over 100 Tertiary Grads For Various Roles

grammes Division at WSG. One young Singaporean who took on a traineeship under the programme was Mr Jonathan Lun, 28, who graduated from the University of Queensland with a degree in international hotel and tourism management in December 2020.

- FROM A1

In the thick of the pandemic, when many businesses had frozen hiring, he applied for a six-month-long SGUnited Traineeship with Holiday Inn Express Singapore Clarke Quay as a front-of-house guest services agent.

He picked up skills as he rotated among different departments and was exposed to different hotel systems such as reservations and property management.

After finishing the traineeship, his role was converted to a full-time one as a reservations agent. He worked in that position for a year before becoming an assistant sales manager.

Such traineeships are a "good safety net", said Mr Lun, who is now a sales manager with Sofitel Singapore City Centre.

"As a trainee, you are able to explore, even make mistakes and learn from them."
