Why Our Partners are On Board

Jeremy Seow Regional Chief Operating Officer & Head of Client Experience, Asia Pacific, Allison+Partners It’s an excellent time for Nanyang Polytechnic to transition into the Professional Competency Model (PCM). I believe this approach will help students discover their strengths and interest as they experience how various skills are interconnected, especially in the professional world. Additionally, it’s great to see the dozens of leading organisations get behind this transition for the benefit of the students.

Ow Jee ChinDeputy General Manager, Business Development, Pico Art InternationalSingapore’s war for talent is at its stiffest with rapid changes in technology, consumers habits and fast-evolving workplace. The new PCM is well-structured to address this, preparing learners with the knowledge and skills to excel in the challenging MICE industry. A good Events Management personnel is required to wear many hats, be it from the perspective of a designer, lawyer, human resource recruiter, marketer or a customer relationship officer. This model looks set to take future Events talents to another level.

Jayne KohDirector, iORA GroupThe new PCM-based course will strengthen the curriculum and equip business graduates with the knowledge and skills the retail industry will need. By developing crucial retail strategy skills, with further focus on sustainability and the use of Big Data to improve the buying process, graduates of this course will be skilled to meet the demands of the industry.
