I helped out a bit at MyIndians UPU Application Workshop for SPM Leavers which was held on 26th and 27th March. It was held at the office in 3 2 Square PJ. About 400 over students\/parents came for the workshop (held over two days). There was \u00a0a general briefing, followed by individual counselling (if needed) by volunteers who represented various careers (medicine, engineering, skills based, teaching etc). This was followed by briefing on how to apply to UPU. And interestingly, the organisers managed to get BSN to open a counter to sell PIN numbers on the spot! The irony is that some students\/parents don’t even know that they need a PIN number to apply to IPTA. Good thing the BSN counter was there.\u00a0The organisers had also printed a simple booklet explaining about what to do after SPM.<\/p>\n

As a follow-up event, they are having workshop for JPA scholarship applicant on interview tips:<\/p>\n

\n

MyIndians.com calls all those who have applied for JPA scholarships for a special training this\u00a0Saturday, 9th April 2011 <\/strong>(10 am to 12 noon) on how to conduct yourself on the interview day. Please call our help centre or Asha at 012-3431656 for details<\/p>\n
