Infocomm Club Ambassadors Programme
Infocomm Club Ambassadors' programme is
one of the club's initiatives to provide students an opportunity to be part of
the club's students council. The objective of this programme is:
- To foster leadership quality, self-confidence, interpersonal
skills and creativity to the students
- To help students discover their Infocomm potential through
acquiring skills and knowledge outside their school activities
- To cultivate in students instincts to serve the community,
society and their nation
Students will be
shortlisted based on their ability to contribute to the programme, their level
of Infocomm Skills as well as their passion and enthusiasm for Infocomm. The Infocomm club
ambassadors constantly review and refine Infocomm Club policies and practices
and plan for nationwide events for Infocomm Clubs. Ambassadors also get the
rare opportunity to assist, play a role and be part of IDA events, programmes
and initiatives. Priorities and opportunities for special programmes such as
overseas infocomm study trips, rare visits to special infocomm companies and
infocomm work attachments are also provided to ambassadors.
"Passion, commitment, teamwork, leadership and
loads of fun, is what the IDA IFCA is about." - Ian Chua, Raffles

opportunities provided, IDA Infocomm Club Ambassadors Programme provides a
