NAIS Pudong Scholarships
Scholarship applications are now open.
This week, we had the pleasure of hosting Jason Chang from Apple Inc as part of our Industry Expert Talk series. Jason has been an Operations Project Manager in the New Product Introduction (NPI) division at Apple Inc. since 2017. Before that, he worked in similar roles at Foxconn and Lenovo, accumulating over 17 years of experience in the tech industry.
During his talk, Jason shared his educational and career journey, highlighting how attending a top university opened the doors to opportunities at Apple and other leading companies. He then walked students through the complex design and assembly processes that every product must go through in the production line, emphasising the rigorous quality control that accompanies every new product launch.
In his closing advice, Jason encouraged students to embrace lifelong learning. He humorously pointed out that even while scrolling through TikTok, it’s essential to balance entertainment with learning, as keeping your mind engaged can bring lifelong benefits.
During the Q&A session, many students expressed great interest in the tech industry, asking Jason a range of fascinating questions. Some even joked about future job prospects and salary expectations at Apple. We’re incredibly grateful to Jason for his insightful presentation—what an impressive session!
We were delighted to welcome Mr Justin Foley to our campus earlier this week to continue our Industry Expert series, a programme which sees specialists from a variety of industries come to talk with our senior students about their pathways and career planning.
On the 10th of Jan, under the theme of Unity & Belonging,5 NAIS Pudong students took part in the TEDx youth event at our sister school at BSB Shunyi. This provided a wonderful opportunity for our students to demonstrate their own creative thinking and confidence in public speaking in front of a live audience which at some point reached nearly 20,000 viewers accessing the live feed.
In the final of our series of alumni spotlight articles, we speak with Matthew Ward, a professional football player in England who spent six years at NAIS Pudong before departing in 2019 to take up his current role as an elite sports star!
At NAIS Pudong, we strive to achieve our values, one element of which is building confidence in our students to help them better prepare for life after education. But what about building the confidence to question one’s approach and strategy in tacking tasks or ideas?
