Local university students who wish to get a taste of working in other parts of South-east Asia or India can now look to two new initiatives from trade agency International Enterprise (IE) Singapore. One of the initiative involves bringing new partners on board IE Singapore's existing Young Talent Programme, which supports local students on overseas programmes with a weekly and travel allowance, to grow the trade agency's network in India. The trade agency signed three Memoranda of Understanding yesterday with the Confederation of Indian Industry, a large Indian business association, SMU, NUS and NTU. They will collaborate in creating a network of talent focused on India's needs. The partnerships will allow the universities and IE Singapore to tap on the Confederation of Indian Industry's network of over 8,000 members, spanning small and medium enterprises to multi-nationals across the public and private sectors, to create overseas attachment and internship opportunities for selected students.
