Only you will decide how long your knowledge and skills will be valid and relevant.
If you see your diploma as a foundation to:
Keep scaling new heights,
Keep learning new things,
Keep building your knowledge in the domain you have chosen,
Keep expanding your portfolio of work experiences,
Then no one will be able to take away that diploma from you.
No one can ever invalidate the skills and knowledge that you have obtained over the last few years.
There will be many opportunities for you to continue learning after you graduate.
One example is Suhaimi, a continuing education and training (CET) graduate here with us today. Suhaimi enrolled in a part-time diploma at RP to broaden his knowledge in engineering. His time in RP equipped him with new skills in manpower planning, risk management, and inventory management. After graduating, Suhaimi will go on to take on an expanded role in his company, Rolls Royce.
All of us can learn from Suhaimi.
Keep our eye on the horizon;
Be open to learning new skills; and make the best use of the resources and opportunities available to us, for continual learning.
