Making a Lasting Impression During Attachment!!!

Be it a short 8-week or a long 24-week attachment, students would left  the organisations leaving good or bad impressions.  This would help employers to form perceptions on the quality of graduates from NTU.  We feature here some commendation letters or notes received from organisations and extracted from the organisation supervisors’ assessments.  We hope that this article will motivate students to do their part and perform well during their attachment and further enhance their degree which they will be receiving from NTU.
