70% of surveyed employers felt NUS graduates lack jobs-seeking skills and did not leave good impressions

A career-preparation programme – mandatory for students at SMU (from 2001) and NTU (from 2006), will now be rolled out at the NUS to help graduates find jobs. In a survey conducted by NUS recently, SMU graduates ranked first in all the three categories of Oral Communication Skills, Maturity and Grooming. SMU has launched compulsory career programmes ever since the school started. Students can learn soft skills, which includes social etiquettes, how to write a CV and job seeking techniques.
