For as long as Ms Ong Tun Kim can remember, her life has been shaped by her relentless pursuit of higher knowledge.

The payoff: A fulfilling and enriching career – and, last month, recognition with the award of the SkillsFuture Fellowships.

Outside work, she is also a certified neuro-linguistic programming practitioner, a professional career coach, and has skills in data science and design thinking. One of them is Mr John Dell'Arciprete, director, Supply Assurance at IBM Systems Group, who has worked with Ms Ong for about 10 years. Ms Ong, a graduate in business administration with a major in human resource management from RMIT University, believes in staying relevant by broadening her skills, both in and out of her field of expertise. “You can’t assume that whatever you know now will be relevant in future,” she says.

For example, Ms Ong first learned of neuro-linguistic programming — which focuses on how people think and speak, and how language can influence their actions — back when her children were young. But family commitments were a priority then, and she decided to put it off.Ms Ong wants to be a good role model for her sons and show that she can still learn and contribute to society, never mind her age.

At work, she facilitates the leadership programmes for first-time managers. Ms Ong is especially keen to mentor other women, supporting their career growth and personal development.
