SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 5 January 2021 – As
we to move into Phase 3 of Covid-19 towards the end of 2020, flexibility and
adaptability remains an indefinite priority for Singaporeans as the labour
market adjusts to the new normal. This renders upskilling and reskilling a
necessity for professionals to remain employable. Riding in tandem, the
Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS) delivers a series of
online MBAs and short courses to equip the workforce with ample opportunities to
ride the wave.

MDIS strengthens its resolve to offer educational experiences that are fresh

Organisations seeking to invest in
resources to upskill and enhance the leadership potential of future managers
