Berita Harian Jan 2018 - Career opportunities must coincide with the willingness to cultivate a global mind
"Director of the Centre for Future-ready Graduates at National University of Singapore (NUS), Ms Crystal Lim, noted that new opportunities in the maritime industry lies in innovation and digitalisation, commercial maritime services such as insurance, international finance, arbitration, trading and supply chain management as well as overseas consultancy businesses, such as port management in the Middle East and China.
She mentioned, “To be future-ready, students need to be adaptable, have cultural and social emotional intelligence, be tech-savvy and demonstrate resilience. They also need to have a mindset of growth, which means constantly looking for opportunities to learn and develop, and step out of their comfort zone.”
Ms Lim added, “They also have to develop resilience by building a growth mindset, which is essentially a state of mind where you believe that if you put in effort, you can grow your talent.”
