Bootstrap Pte Ltd

We are a tertiary education institution in Singapore, with a goal of producing work-ready graduates. We organise classroom-based soft skills/professional skills development workshops. However, the tight academic timeline of our overseas universities degree programmes leave insufficient time for students to go for such programs. While we envision for the content of these workshops to continue being useful to our alumni in their working lives, the current classroom-based mode of delivery does not provide such learning opportunities for our working graduates .

Seasoned trainers are engaged as facilitators in the program to share key tenets of entrepreneurship with their students. These trainers have little engagement opportunities with their students outside the classroom, and for the students, little motivation, if any, to constantly engage their trainers. The challenge is then to motivate both trainers and students to stay engaged and continue the learning beyond the 4 walls. |

|
The company's tourist guides develop new knowledge as attraction information and pedagogical approaches and methodologies are updated continually. Such new knowledge could also help them impart contextual memories to tourists.
In fact, the entire tourism ecosystem extends far beyond tourist guides, and encompasses agencies, hotels, attraction owners and even members of the public.
The challenge is not being able to effectively and efficiently collect dynamic, moderated information and convert it into valuable learning opportunities for the guides.

The Company’s instructors create new knowledge whenever they conduct their programmes. Such knowledge is tacit and mainly resides with the instructors, a significant number who are associate instructors. Important tacit knowledge is therefore not effectively and efficiently captured within the corporate knowledge base, and cannot be tapped on by newly recruited instructors. Bringing these new instructors up to the requisite standards often take a long time because they can only experience and build on their own knowledge when they themselves are conducting the programmes.

Biipmi Pte Ltd

The failure rate of the mandatory Certificate of Employment Intermediaries (CEI) programme is very high, and there is practically no alternative prospective employment agents (EAs) can access to update their knowledge other than the appointed training centres. Moreover, much of the training conducted is didactic, and might not cater to the broad learning needs of the prospective EAs.

In the security services industry, realistic training is critical in areas such as identifying and managing bomb threats and counter-terrorist activities. Without a realistic training environment, trainees may not be prepared in the event of a real incident on how they should carry out their roles and responsibilities. As we move into blended learning, how can we enhance learning to make it more meaningful and real and ensure that it is “internalised” so that what is learnt will be effectively carried out at the workplace?

ARzap Studio Pte Ltd

Currently the training and knowledge acquisition that is happening in the company is up to staff’s resourcefulness in extracting knowledge content from the internet. This approach is risky as relevance and validity is hard to verify. Skills and knowledge acquired is also not easily passed on to new staff. The challenge is to develop a learning tool that aid the staff to access useful real-time information and a pipeline to pass our knowledge and experience to the next generation of staff.
