Why TSM New York City?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
TSM is a good opportunity outside of the classroom to apply the concepts we learnt in school. Being an IS student, the school has equipped us with theories and lessons about technology and entrepreneurship knowledge. By going for TSM, I will be able to see for myself how all these knowledge work together in real life and learn from the people who have been through everything when they built up their businesses. I believe that there will be a lot of lessons learnt from these people that we will meet, as well as those who are going on the trip since we have the same interests when going for this trip.
- Why pick New York City?
Having worked in New York City as a App Developer 5 years ago, New York City will always be at the top of the list to revisit. It is the transit hub, the heart and soul of computer technology where many companies connect with one another to establish new idea, new businesses. A place where success breeds success, a place full of opportunities for networking and specialization.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Social Entrepreneurship is always something in my mind to gather a group of passionate technology enthusiasts to develop, fund and implement solutions to benefit the social, cultural, or environmental issues
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
To earn multiple internship and job opportunities. Learning about the fun, difficult and enriching moment by experiencing them. This way, I will be able to understand what the employees, colleagues think and feel by experiencing the different companies management styles.
This study trip will help to optimize my networking and learning opportunities that will broaden my knowledge and skills in today's fast-paced technology world.
