Start with the NTU Career and Attachment Office’s Gain Industry Insights page, which includes NTU PEAK. It describes an industry-linked leadership development programme involving professional mentors and interdisciplinary student teams.
For a second perspective, read NTU’s Groom Future Leaders page. It explains the programme’s leadership and design-thinking approach to business challenges. This page is written for industry partners, however; its collaboration invitation is not a student application form.
To find a current student call or clarify eligibility, use CAO’s current student communications and the NTU contact directory, under Student Career Services & Attachment. The public descriptions establish what PEAK is; they do not, by themselves, establish that applications for a particular edition are open.

How to read a PEAK opportunity before applying
Start with the learning experience you want: investigating a real challenge, working across disciplines and learning from feedback. Then check whether the current opportunity fits your circumstances.
Identify the exact programme and edition
NTU’s public overview describes PEAK as a month-long programme. Use that as orientation, not as a substitute for the dates and commitments in the particular call you receive. Record the edition name and organising office alongside its application information.
If you encounter a differently named PEAK opportunity or an older event page, compare its audience and instructions afresh. Do not transfer a previous participant’s schedule, selection process or arrangements to your own application merely because the names are similar.
Understand the team’s learning task
The student page describes teams contributing ideas to real business challenges, with a focus on sustainability and technology. The employer page adds the leadership and design-thinking perspective. Together they explain why the experience is more than attending a company talk.
Prepare an example of how you have worked with people who approached a problem differently. What did you contribute, what did you listen to, and what changed after feedback? Use this for your own reflection; let the actual application prompts determine what you submit.
Ask concrete questions about participation
Check the current call for eligibility, selection steps, dates, attendance expectations and required outputs. If something is missing, ask CAO which student instructions apply. An attractive project theme does not answer whether your timetable allows meaningful participation.
Did you know? Understanding a project can begin with one simple question: “What would our team actually investigate or produce?” Add questions about mentoring, team coordination and preparation. These help you assess the experience without predicting a selection outcome.
Separate leadership development from a job offer
The employer page discusses mentoring and talent engagement. That does not make participation a job offer or guarantee later recruitment. Treat any employment application as its own process, with its own criteria and outcome.
If your main goal is a degree-related placement, use eduKate’s university internship source guide. PEAK information and internship approval answer different questions; ask the relevant university office if you are unsure which experience meets your actual need.
Your next step
Read the student overview, then locate the current edition’s notice. Prepare a short CAO enquiry naming that edition, your programme and year of study, and the specific requirement or date you need clarified.
For help turning an experience into a wider exploration plan, use eduKate’s university career-services guide. Keep your learning goals, programme application and later job search connected without treating them as a single guaranteed pathway.
