Contact Singapore

Contact Singapore is partnering a wide variety of key employers in the vibrant growth sectors of Healthcare Services, Research & Development, Public Service, Legal Services and Financial Services, to present the exciting employment opportunities in Singapore.

In August, we will be hosting a series of web-based seminars (webinars) for you to ‘meet’ and chat with industry representatives from various sectors. A webinar is a web-based seminar that is transmitted over the Web. Besides being able to watch the presentations, you will be able to interact with the presenters, post questions and receive answers in real time. Upon registration, you will receive a link to the webinar, as well as a login name and password which will allow you to access the webinar.

Look out for our posters around uni! =)

Based on leading international research and presented by Hugh Evans (founder of Oaktree Foundation and 2004 Young Australian of the Year), '1.4 billion reasons' is a thought provoking presentation that encourages audiences to make simple changes to their lifestyles, enabling the world’s poorest to break the poverty cycle.

It is a reality that 1.4 billion people live in extreme poverty without adequate food, clothing or shelter.

That gives you 1.4 billion reasons to come to a Global Poverty Project Presentation and find out how you can help put an end to this injustice.

We will present on how your everyday actions – in what you learn, say, buy, give and do - is connected to ending extreme poverty. Small actions at your end can create big opportunities for the world’s poorest.
