Calling All Foreign Talents - Want To Work And Study In Singapore?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 7, 2009 -- Right now, there are opportunities in Singapore through a Work And Study In Singapore Program that can give you the cutting edge you need for a competitive career in the International Job Market.

As you know, the more we learn, the more we earn. Education plays a large factor in our career success.

So if you have a globally recognized qualification in a growing industry, you can enhance your employability; command a better salary, higher status, and more opportunities.

The reverse is also true; a vast majority of the working population, have earning power notionally constrained by their limited education.

However, having a good qualification does not seem to suffice in this competitive society. From all across Southeast Asia, we’ve been reading reports of unemployment for graduates.

“I have sent out 300 job applications over the past nine months, gone for just 10 interviews and yet to get a single job offer.” (Source: THE STRAITS TIMES, 15 AUGUST 2008)

“Too many students are coming out of universities unprepared for the marketplace.” (Source: BUSINESS TIMES, FEBRUARY 20, 2008)

Many companies today demand work efficiency right from the start with little or no training resources set aside to accommodate greenhorns. As such, on top of a recognized qualification, minimum 2-3 years of relevant working experience has become a common requirement in many job vacancies.

Efficiency is the key in getting ahead in our competitive society.

We need efficiency – a composition of the right ingredients added to our present education system such that graduates are assured of a good job right after graduation. If relevant work experience is what is lacking, then that should become an integral part of education. Let’s be practical; isn’t education all about preparing us for the workforce after all?

Harriet Educational Group (HEG) Singapore sees this need and bridges the gap with its Work And Study In Singapore Programs.

The Work And Study In Singapore Programs target to give individuals the cutting edge in their career by giving them a minimum of 2 years full-time work experience in a Singapore job in the relevant industry with a full-time employment pay check, while they study a globally recognized professional qualification on a part-time basis.

These Work And Study In Singapore Programs are made possible by a myriad of collaborations between more than 60 local established employers and globally recognized UK education institutions with HEG and Harriet Career Consultancy – a Recruitment Firm licensed by Ministry of Manpower, Singapore.

The programs are registered with Ministry Of Education Singapore, accredited by CaseTrust, relevant Universities and Organisations. HEG is also listed as an approved private education organization in Singapore Tourism Board and Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (Singapore) and permitted to enroll International Students
