Originally from Canada, Dr. Tyler Sherwood never foresaw that he would be living in Singapore in 2025. In the early parts of his career, he had worked in primary and early childhood education.

Now, more than ever, is the right time to take a step back and reconsider your study abroad options. Take a look at the US or UK, for example – visa applications are costly, and even if you have a visa, there’s no guarantee you can even stay there until you graduate.

When Deric Yee was still studying finance and venture capital at Lancaster University, he caught what’s known as the “startup-founder” bug. He was inspired by his peers, watching founders passionately pitch their visions, build their companies, and brainstorm new ideas. At one point, Yee was no longer content to be an observer. Perhaps, he thought, perhaps he too can build something. And he wasn’t just seeking to land a tech job with no experience; he wanted to create tech jobs for others.
