Singapore Polytechnic to launch new business programme for Year 1 students

The programme will be launched in AY 2025/26.

Singapore Polytechnic (SP)'s School of Business (SB) will launch the Business Essentials Through Action (BETA) Programme in the academic year 2025/26.

The programme will provide students with hands-on experience in venture creation and industry mentorship.

Developed in partnership with the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) and supported by Mentoring SG, the programme will be available to all Year 1 students in the SB.

SP will provide all Year 1 business students with seed funding of $1,000 for their ventures.

In addition, SP and NVPC have inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) providing SP students with a range of opportunities including industry exposure, experiential learning, curriculum integration, and Continuing Education and Training (CET) courses.

“Our students must understand how even small business decisions can significantly impact communities and stakeholders. We aim to empower them to not only build profitable businesses but also drive positive social change within their communities,” Soh Wai Wah, Principal and CEO of Singapore Polytechnic said.

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.
