Green Harvesting with SkillsFuture Work-Study Degree

SkillsFuture Work-Study Degree (WSDeg) allows companies to integrate institution-based learning with structured on-the-job training, enabling full-time students to acquire deep technical and essential skills, which facilitates their transition to the workplace after graduation.

SIT collaborates with industry partners to deliver an academic-cum-industry curriculum. SIT imparts technical knowledge and essential skills, while industry partners provide students with exposure to real-world challenges, validating students’ learning in the workplace.

WSDeg provides employers with a structured approach to develop their talent pipeline and assess potential hires while they are undergoing their studies at SIT. Employers can identify potential hires through interviews, and secure their commitment through sponsorship and/or apprenticeship.

WSDeg students will return to their sponsoring companies during their trimester break(s) for their Industry Induction(s)/Attachment (from 4 to 8 months), as well as for their Integrated Work Study Programme (from 6 to 12 months).

Benefits of WSDeg for Industry Partners
  • Provide a structured approach to develop a talent pipeline early.
  • Identify potential students with the right fit through interviews and secure their commitment through sponsorship and/or apprenticeship.
  • Evaluate the WSDeg students while they are undergoing their studies and at work.
  • Work closely with the WSDeg students at work to create a specialised career track for a seamless transition to the company upon graduation.
