In a first for Private Educational Institutions (PEIs), in 2016, Kaplan Singapore sets up six Industry Advisory Boards (IABs) from various sectors to help align its programmes with the needs of industries that are at the top of the Government’s SkillsFuture agenda.

The intention, being primed on industry requirements, is to produce industry-ready graduates, equipped with 21st century skills, who can walk into various industries and add value immediately without having to be retrained.

The six Boards comprise:

  • More than 40 external senior executives
  • Over 460 years of career experience
  • A collective representation of companies employing over 13,000 employees in Singapore alone

The IABs advise Kaplan on the latest trends in various industry sectors and provide valuable input towards the curriculum. This makes it current and based on practical experience. The input is then used to modify its programmes to make them of industry standard to meet Singapore’s labour needs and prepare their graduates to be career-ready.

The IABs also reflect on industry viewpoints, and provide valuable input on employment demands and the qualities that employers look for in graduates. This ensures that the programmes remain relevant to the real world.

Additionally, the IABs suggest ways of engaging the industry to ensure the relevance of programmes and recommend novel ways that industry intelligence can be inculcated into the curriculum. Uniquely, every one of the boards has a technology leader in its membership, capable of injecting the industry’s requirements towards the vision of a Smart Nation.

Note: The Members serve and give advice to Kaplan through the Industry Advisory Boards (IABs) as individuals. Therefore, the IAB Members’ opinions are their own and do not represent the views of their employer.

Kaplan Alliance Networking Dinner 2017

Our team of experts from our Industry Advisory Boards (IABs) had a get-together at Meat Smith to celebrate 2 years of partnership in bettering our students’ learning outcomes. These industry leaders worked with our academic team and provided insights on the latest trends and developments in their respective sectors, with the common goal of shaping an industry-relevant curriculum. We thank our IAB members for giving their time generously to help us nurture the next generation of industry professionals. We deeply appreciated hearing from Iain Twine (Vice-Chairman – APAC, Middle East & Africa, Edelman PR), when he spoke on behalf of the IAB members that being part of the board “has been a wonderful experience and a nice opportunity to give back.”
