Changes to Career Preparation Training at NUS Business School

Successfully procuring a job doesn’t just encompass good grades – a handy set of skills on how to impress your future employers would be essential. The Career Services Office has in line a series of workshops to help prepare both BBA and BAC students alike.

Previously known as “BFS”, the newly remodelled STR1000 (for Year 1s) and STR2000 (for Year 2s) modules now comprises of enhanced content and will be conducted by 2 trainers across the cohort to improve consistency. While these modules are still compulsory, Year 2s will be able to fit STR2000 into their timetables nicely as they can sign up for their ideal timeslots via the new portal “Symplicity”, which will be replacing “TalentEdge”. As timeslots will not be pre-allocated to Year 2s, it is advised to sign up early to have more choices to choose from.

In addition, there are other varieties of workshops offered (optional). Catch-up workshops are aimed towards Year 2s to cover what BFS1001 did not offer to them as compared to the new STR1001 that their juniors are taking. Booster workshops are conducted by very experienced trainers and will be on a first come first serve basis due to limited slots. Industry-specific workshops will be carried out by corporate trainers who will share their invaluable experiences in their respective industries. Last but not the least, Lunch and Learn workshops are short sessions held by external trainers who will cover interesting single topics over lunch.
