Community Leadership and Social Innovation Centre

Coordinate and monitor the inclusion of social context elements into our program curricula: From 2023, all of our SIT degree programs will have social context elements incorporated, whether through the inclusion of the 'Singapore: Imagining the Next 50 Years' module, the new ‘Change Management’ module in order to fulfil our university graduation requirements.

• Curate, coordinate and track students’ service-learning or social innovation projects: Students can opt to be involved in a service-learning or social innovation project with a community partner, as one of the options to our university’s inter-disciplinary requirements. Among the projects, students can be involved in are the local community innovation projects spearheaded by Applied Research Innovation and Enterprise division; local community programmes organised by Student Life, or the YES!Programme led by an SIT Engineering faculty and partnered by CLASIC.
• Coordinate with SIT faculty and staff for their involvement in these community-related projects.
• Network and collaborate with community partners to curate these opportunities.

The integration of social context teaching and learning elements and activities within our SIT academic programmes, and providing opportunities for our students to be part of a service-learning or social innovation project in the community, help us to realise our SIT’s DNA component of being ‘Grounded in the Community’. As a result, our students are able to forge closer interactions with the community and our community partners, as well as apply the skills and knowledge they have gained in SIT through meaningful endeavours that benefit the community.

If you are looking to enhance or improve on work processes or organisational efficacy, we can connect you to the National Centre of Excellence for Workplace Learning at SIT for the workplace learning and training workshops.
