in WorldSkills Singapore 2011!!!
After 18 months of intensive training, 3rd Year student Chan Jun Wei William from School of Engineering has done us proud, to be RP’s first Gold Medalist in the highly prestigious Worldskills competition. He emerged as the winner among 20 competitors from other polytechnics and ITE, after quarter-final in 2010 and the 3-day long final round last week. He was awarded the Gold Medal, Diploma of Excellence and $3000 by our Minister of Manpower, Mr Gan Kim Yong, in the category of Information Network Cabling.
William will be representing Singapore to compete in the WorldSkills International 2011 held in London in October. The WorldSkills International is a prestigious Olympics Skills competition where countries all over the world come together to compete in various industry skills.
Our 4 other students from SEG (Kenneth Tan Guan Quan and Terence Soh Rong Cheng, Adriel Chen Jiehao and Wee Ping) from SEG also managed to enter the final round of the competition. They have shown us that we can achieve all possibilities with our SEG fighting spirit.
“SEG CAN!”
(Confidence, Adaptability, Never give up spirit)
Let’s once again congratulate Chan Jun Wei William in getting our first Gold Medal for Republic Polytechnic and wish him all the best in representing Singapore in WorldSkills London 2011.
