Singapore University of Social Sciences

The National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) is a national confederation of trade unions, as well as a network of professional associations and partners across all sectors in Singapore. Its objectives are to help Singapore stay competitive; enable working people to remain employable for life; enhance the social status and well-being of its members and working people; and build a strong, responsible and caring labour movement.

SUSS and NTUC signed an MOU on 10 July 2006 to promote education opportunities for working professional and adult learners, particularly NTUC union members. Under the SUSS-NTUC Sponsorship Scheme, selected eligible union members will be able to pursue degree programmes with UniSIM under bond-free sponsorships. The partnership is further strengthened with another MOU signed on 14 December 2016, which will see SUSS and NTUC jointly organising and conducting education and training programmes and activities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which are NTUC U SME partners. These partners will benefit from carefully curated leadership and business development programmes; and acquire knowledge of best practices that can be implemented at the workplace.
