NUS schemes to sharpen students’ job skills
The National University of Singapore (NUS) has lined up two new programmes this year to get students to engage in practical work and sharpen their job skills.
Under the Industry Internship Programme (IPP), NUS will work with big-name firms to create for students’ realistic hands-on learning experiences.
Another scheme, iGen, aims to hone students’ innovation skills through internships that give them a chance to devise ways to improve business, say, by making food deliveries more efficient.
The programme is open to all students and is a means of “complementing and reinforcing our academic programmes”, said Associate Professor Tan Teck Koon, who is in charge of student affairs.
