Specially for O/N/A/NITEC & Polytechnic Leavers
You probably heard about how fast the world is evolving. A study by Cisco and Oxford Economics* found that one-fifth of Singapore’s full-time equivalent workforce (20.6 per cent) will have their jobs displaced by 2028. However, jobs will evolve, rather than disappear.
This January 2021, start off the brand new year by taking a sneak peek of the future. Learn about some of the hottest fields+ such as digital marketing, business analytics, cyber security and even about the development of COVID-19 vaccine!
In order to help students gain more information about these areas of study before taking the plunge, we are offering workshops for free. While tickets last! Only 1 day.
