PSB Academy Marks 60th Year with Upskilling Interactive Events for Singaporeans

  • To commemorate its 60th anniversary, PSB Academy (PSBA), a prominent private education institution in Singapore, is organizing a series of interactive installations. These installations aim to highlight diverse upskilling and reskilling opportunities available to Singaporeans of all backgrounds, blending enjoyment with informative experiences.

    Under the theme 'Skill Up, Stand Out with PSB Academy', attendees will have an exclusive preview of PSBA's newest course offerings for Singaporean students. They will also have the opportunity to engage with consultants who can provide detailed information about these courses. This initiative reflects the government's efforts to streamline skills enhancement for working adults and their commitment to integrating top-notch, industry-focused programs from private education providers into the higher education framework.

    Following PSBA's recent announcement of the S$3.5 million Diamond Jubilee Education Grant initiative, these installations are part of the lead-up to its 60th Diamond Jubilee celebration at the end of the year. The initiative aims to assist Singapore-based students in upskilling and reskilling endeavors.

    "For 60 years, PSB Academy has been a proud partner in Singapore's educational landscape", said Derrick Chang, Chief Executive Officer of PSB Academy. "By bringing these interactive installations directly to the public, we aim to make higher education more accessible, inclusive, and relevant to current industry needs. These experiences provide a welcoming platform for everyone to learn about the variety of courses we offer. It reaffirms our commitment to empowering Singaporeans with the skills they need to succeed in their careers, ultimately contributing to shaping Asia's future leaders".
