Singapore students to get more career exposure through new MOE platform

Schools in Singapore can now tap a new platform on the SkillsFuture website to connect with 700 industry partners, up from 200 last year. The initiative aims to give students from primary to pre-university levels more opportunities to explore career pathways and develop real-world skills. These include hands-on projects in sectors such as manufacturing, aerospace and sustainability. Education Minister Desmond Lee says stronger school-industry partnerships are key to preparing students for an uncertain future. MOE hopes to bring more than 2,000 individuals and organisations onto the platform by end-2027. Sonia Heng reports.
