I was drawn to the nature of the project, with a focus on methodologies and challenges in measuring the green and digital economies. Both fields are emerging areas and very relevant to Singapore and globally. Interning at DOS provides a hands-on experience, turning theories learnt in university into practical products.
I enjoyed talking to different people in the office and everyone was very friendly and welcoming.
 Knowledge acquired from research done on both the green and digital economies and a better understanding of Singapore’s and other countries’ advancement towards a greener and more digitalised economy!

Kacey Chew
NUS, Computer Engineering, Year 2
Intern (2023), Longitudinal Data Analytics
DOS Internship programme aligned perfectly with my area of interest - leveraging machine learning to extract valuable insights from datasets. I am passionate about harnessing data to uncover valuable information, and DOS's reputation in this field made it a natural choice for me. DOS provided an ideal environment to nurture my interests and learn from industry experts.
During my internship, I enjoyed the real-life application of machine learning and data analysis. Being involved in projects using actual data exposed me to the intricacies of data-driven problem-solving. This hands-on experience honed my technical skills and provided valuable insights into the practical implications of my work. I was fortunate to receive immense guidance and mentorship from my supervisors. They not only offered valuable insights into various machine learning concepts but also actively encouraged me to think critically and independently.
Recognizing the importance of resourcefulness and thinking creatively to tackle complex challenges. The diverse range of characteristics and properties inherent in datasets means that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' solution. Adaptability and versatility have now become invaluable assets in my professional toolkit.

Cheong Win Yee
NTU Mathematical Sciences, Year 3
Intern (2023), Household Survey and Expenditure
The DOS internship programme is relevant to my field of study, allowing me to witness firsthand how Statistics is applied in the real world. I wanted to apply what I learnt in school and contribute.
I was involved in the Household Expenditure Survey (HES) 2022/23, a nation-wide project. It was an eye-opening experience to observe the Data Processing operations and gain greater appreciation of the results produced. I was involved in the system User Acceptance Testing, which allowed me to understand the importance of ensuring the system usability. My colleagues were friendly and provided me with help whenever I encountered difficulties. I made many friends through the internship.
Soft skills, especially communication. Engaging external vendors regularly put me through the rigour of articulating my thoughts to convey the desired outcomes clearly.
