Description

The HTX Internship Programme is designed for college, polytechnic and university students/undergraduates and graduates to experience how Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are applied to create solutions that keep Singapore safe and secure.

With the “X” symbolising energy, vitality, and HTX’s role as the Home Team’s Force Multiplier, it represents how HTX integrates STEM talents and capabilities across the Home Team to develop and deliver cutting-edge technologies to solve crimes, save lives, secure our borders, safeguard our data and systems, and enhance public safety.

Students, undergraduates and graduates may consider applying for internship under the following HTX pillars and divisions, subject to their suitability and availability of projects for interns.

During their stint, interns will gain personal development and growth through exposure to senior technical leaders and mentors, tackle challenging projects, and gain valuable insights on how our technologies are applied in real-world situations.

Requirements

Students pursuing (or going to pursue) tertiary qualification in STEM disciplines/background (Engineering, Computer Science, Sciences, Data Science and AI and/or relevant specialisations), with skills relevant to the science and technology domains and are tech savvy.
Students from non-STEM disciplines/backgrounds can consider interning with the divisions under HTX's Capability Planning pillar.
The ideal HTX intern should be curious, creative, collaborative, driven and mission-oriented.
