Panduit Singapore has collaborated with its installation company network to launch a student internship program, designed to equip them for careers in information network infrastructure.

Internship is like channelling streams of water into the path that it should go. Once it merges and gains enough momentum, it’s unstoppable.
— Eric Ang | Manager, Head of Training & Development, LanTro (S) Pte Ltd
We strongly believe that internships are an effective means of preparing students to tackle real-world challenges. Through partnerships with our network, we strive to create numerous internship opportunities every year for students from local universities, polytechnics, and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), leveraging our vast network to achieve this goal..
The opening of the new ITE-Panduit Centre for Information Network Infrastructure Solutions in Singapore represents a significant step towards providing education and skills training to today's youth, and is a key component of Panduit's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) efforts.
We were honored to have Panduit's executive leadership team, including President and CEO Shannon McDaniel from the company's headquarters in the USA, attend the lab's opening ceremony.
Panduit recently welcomed 30 electrical engineering students from the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) to its Singapore showroom for a Learning Journey Day on July 20, 2022. During the visit, the students were given a comprehensive tour and had the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities and self-discovery exercises, which included friendly competition and games.
The event proved to be a fun and fulfilling day for both the students and Panduit's staff volunteers, providing a valuable opportunity for students to gain exposure to industry-leading technology and build their skills. Panduit takes pride in its commitment to corporate social responsibility and is proud to contribute to initiatives that empower the next generation of tech talent.
Overall, the Learning Journey Day was a success, with the students and Panduit team members alike sharing in the spirit of excitement and discovery. Panduit remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote skills development and education, recognizing the role these initiatives play in shaping the future of the industry.

Throwback to the exciting World Skills Singapore 2021 Information Network Cabling Challenge!
Students were putting their skills to the test by installing and testing campus distribution cabling setups involving UTP, F/UTP, multipair, and fiber optic cables. Plus, they're planning, installing, and testing multimedia cabling projects from outdoor distribution points to indoor multimedia ports. This Skillset was essential for future roles as Network Designers, IT Structured Cabling Administrators, Infrastructure Consultants, or Project Managers. As IP becomes the standard for transmitting all information, the demand for Data Centre, Smart Nation, IOT 4.0, and Intelligent Digital Building opportunities is on the rise.
We're proud to sponsor the Information Network Cabling for World Skills Singapore 2021.
