Hear from our 2024 Chartered Accountant Stars (#CAStars):
Mr Rishul Mittal
University of Warwick

There were 5 main agendas in the programme - corporate visits, networking, mentoring, workshop and tackling business cases. It was a very well thought programm, I enjoyed all of them and wished that the programme could be longer!
Ms Harsimran Kaur
National University of Singapore
Business Administration (Accountancy)
The GTP exceeded my expectations! I can't think of any programme segment that I did not enjoy. The corporate visits to the various companies, workshop and podcast sessions were my favourite experiences.
Mr Hyeunjun Park
Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology
Business & Technology Management
I loved the visit to SGX and the inspiring dinner with mentors. It was a great program, and it was an experience that greatly broadened my perspective in life. As a good memory, I will never forget it.
Mr Vladislav Virtonen
Minerva University
Finance & Economics
The GTP was the highlight of my year. The business case that we worked on was very meaningful and the visits to the social enterprises were great! I had no idea what chartered accounting was before joining the programme. Now, I am completely convinced that it is an incredible profession, and I am truly inspired to have a career in accounting.
