“I applied for the Undergraduate Internship Programme (UGIP) to better understand the intricacies of a Foreign Service Officer’s (FSOs) work, and to test myself against the demands of the job to determine if a career as an FSO is right for me. It was good exposure, both to the ministry and to the geopolitical realities that occupy Singapore. I am deeply grateful to my directorate for actively tasking me in ways that exposed me to the broad breadth of work expected of a Foreign Service Officer (FSO), and it was an irreplicable experience.”
