Detail

Eugenia Tan (Class of 2016) recalled her learning journey while pursuing Chemical Engineering (DCHE) program at Singapore Polytechnic as a hard and rocky one following her education at ITE. Together with her friend, they set a common goal to pass every semester to get to the graduation ceremony, and they did. She attributed it to the encouragements she received from her lecturers and peers. A trait of her as she shared along is her belief that abilities can be developed through perseverance and hard work.

“Cherish your internship experience!” Eugenia shouts out to her juniors. Harnessing on her strength in connecting with people, she took on a sales and marketing job for her internship at Grundfos. Her supervisor and mentor, Mr Eric Lai, provided her opportunities for growth including an assignment that gave her an opportunity to travel overseas. Grundfos hired Eugenia even before she graduated.

At Grundfos, she constantly seeks out for growth opportunities and is recently promoted to Sales Manager for Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry for South Asia. Eugenia received “Reach for the Stars” award 2024, a global award that celebrates individuals who have gone above and beyond in their roles, made a significant impact, and truly exemplify Grundfos’ core values.

“Education is like a passport to workplace. It is attitude and character that bring you to grounds you never thought you would be able to tread upon.”
