On behalf of all my team members at Tee Up, I thank CGS and Prof Lawrence Loh for the opportunity to contribute to society through this initiative.
CGS and Tee Up Capital Launch Programme to Train Undergraduates in Governance and Sustainability The NUS Centre for Governance and Sustainability (CGS) and Tee Up Capital have launched a programme to train undergraduates in governance and sustainability with the signing an MOU on 25 Jan 2024. The programme prepares students for a job market where governance and sustainability skills are in hot demand. Known as “Tee Up Capital-NUS CGS Programme in Governance and Sustainability”, students will be paid to conduct governance and sustainability related research. They will conduct case studies, take part in workshops and conferences. They will be exposed to Tee Up Capital’s management operations and propose recommendations to impact its ESG strategy and practices. “More than ever, the job market is demanding graduates who are skilled in sustainability and governance. The Tee Up Capital-NUS CGS programme develops a pipeline of talent who can meet this demand. For the students, the programme complements their academic curriculum as it allows them to apply knowledge in a real world setting,” said Prof Lawrence Loh, Director of the CGS. “The programme blazes the trail ahead for CGS. The Centre is known for its incisive research work and thought leadership events but this is the Centre’s first foray into training and equipping students in both governance and sustainability. The strength of the programme is providing students training in practice. Sustainability is not just theoretical knowledge,” said Mr John KM Lim, Chair of the CGS Advisory Board. “The CGS-NUS programme is a start. We hope that more partners will join in such education collaborations and create a momentum for higher education to ensure all students are equipped in sustainability and governance. Every organisation has a need for these skills,” said Prof Patrick H M Loh, Chairman and Co-Founder, Singapore Sciences and SINOAGRO Group who witnessed the MOU signing. Mr Kelvin Low, CEO of Tee Up Capital Pte Ltd / Tee Up Asset Management Pte Ltd said, “This partnership not only prepares students for the future work force it enhances our business practices and governance. With insights and guidance from CGS designing the programme, we will strengthen our position as a socially responsible organisation.” #sustainability #sustainabilityeducation #governance
