Since the advent of World Wide Web, the world that we now live in has become more wired and interconnected. The mere thought of being able to freely access digital information stored at geographically diverse locations is unthinkable even just a few decades ago. With instant messaging applications, text can now be rapidly sent across the internet highway with just a click of button while latest breaking news occurring at any far-flung corners of the world can reach global audience at mere seconds.

“My Learning Journey with Vietnamese Student Association of PSB Academy”

Cathleen
I joined PSB Academy in June 2010. Two months later I got to know that the
Vietnamese Student Association (VSA) was seeking members for their committee.
With my past leadership experiences as a student in Vietnam, and my passion for
participating in school activities, I decided to run for VSA election. I was very honored
to have been chosen as President but, at the same time, I realised that I have
great responsibility towards my committee members and the Vietnamese students in
PSB Academy.

“Joining this programme has been a positive choice for me”Cathleen

The BEnvOHS programme with PSB Academy is a rewarding choice for any individuals
inclined to pursue higher learning in many areas within occupational health and safety field.
I chose this programme not only because of its relevancy to my current job scope, but also
to fulfill my own personal interest to switch to different work roles and enhance knowledge
in fields other than life science, which I have been duly involved in for almost ten years now.
Joining this programme has been a positive choice for me; the modules are well-paced and
structured in a way that is conducive to my learning as a working professional – demanding,
yet manageable.
