Understanding the role of Environmental Services
Through my studies in Environmental and Marine Science, I gained foundational knowledge about the cleaning, pest management, and waste management sectors. This helped me understand how essential these services are in maintaining public cleanliness and safeguarding human and environmental health. From a national perspective, environmental services are fundamental to Singapore’s success and sustainability. The industry also plays a key role in addressing environmental challenges, and I am interested in learning how professionals contribute to environmental protection.
Shaping new perspectives on Environmental Services
This scholarship opportunity has made me more aware that the Environmental Services industry faces challenges such as manpower shortages and negative perceptions among younger generations. Many youths may view the industry as physically demanding or lacking career progression without fully understanding its importance and long-term impact. In the future, I hope to help change these perceptions by raising awareness, promoting innovation, and showing how meaningful and impactful careers in Environmental Services can be.
