Director of the Dato' Kho Hui Meng Career Centre at SMU, Mr Sim Cher Young, said that the centre’s staff is increasingly “hard-pressed to keep career counselling sessions within the allocated time of one hour”. This is similar to the situation at the other two universities, NUS and NTU. To combat this, NTU will be launching a new S$30-million career development centre, Margaret Lien Centre for Professional Success, which will arm students with career skills and values. The centre will start operation in July next year.
