CDC and SingLand invest in youth education with DOTS Academy launch

The parties each contributed $250,000 to fund the programme.

Central Singapore Community Development Council (CDC) and SingLand launched the DOTS Academy @ Central to provide diverse learning opportunities and coaching to 1,000 youths. 

CDC and SingLand each contributed $250,000 to fund the programme.

As part of the academy's launch, the parties also rolled out the "I Am Talented" initiative, which promotes self-discovery and inspires excellence in academic and non-academic areas.

Over 200 individuals attended the workshops on 18 and 25 May, and around 50 participants and mentors engaged in the career exploration and mentoring training sessions.

In addition, the academy offers career exploration workshops, mentoring sessions to support development and school-to-work transitions, educational workshops, field trips, and other ad-hoc learning experiences.

DOTS Academy @ Central prioritises individuals with disadvantaged backgrounds, including those who may not have access to such opportunities.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
