Giving you Singapore jobs as well as the cutting edge you need for a competitive career in the International Job Market.

1. What Is Work And Study In Singapore Programmes?

The programmes offer candidates jobs in Singapore and therefore giving them access to the opportunities in Singapore.

A Singapore job in one of these unique programmes means a good salary and good career prospects.

Candidates in these Work And Study In Singapore programmes will concurrently be upgrading their skills and qualifications.

Key Benefits are: 1) Study and 2) Job:

1) Study

The more we learn, the more we earn. Education plays a big part in our career success.

When you have a globally recognized qualification in a growing industry, you can enhance your employability, command a better salary, enjoy a higher status and more opportunities are available to you.

The reverse is true. A big majority of the working population have their earning power notionally constrained by their limited education.

Harriet Educational Group helps you:

  • Get globally recognized qualification at the same time that you are climbing your career ladder.
  • Fast-track to a degree / post-graduate qualification.
  • Earn More Than You Pay.
  • SDF Funding and Scholarships available. *

2) Job

However, having a good qualification does not seem to suffice in this competitive society.

From all across Southeast Asia, we’ve been reading reports of unemployment for graduates.

“I have sent out 300 job applications over the past nine months, gone for just 10 interviews and yet to get a single job offer.” (Source: The Straits Times, August 15 2008)

“Too many students are coming out of universities unprepared for the marketplace.” (Source: Business Times, February 20 2008)

Nowadays, many companies demand work efficiency right from the start with little or no training resources set aside to accommodate greenhorns.

Therefore, besides a recognized qualification, a minimum of two to three years of relevant working experience has become a common requirement in many job vacancies.

Harriet Educational Group helps you:

  • Get a head start in a full-time career (not internship) as you study.
  • Work with an established company/organization.
  • Guaranteed starting gross salary of S$1,000 to S$1,800 or more depending on highest qualification, work experience and nationality. (Only possible because of the efforts put in by Harriet Career Consultancy team to give our candidates the best, and also the increasing number of collaborative partnerships with companies nationwide.
  • On-the-job-training.
  • Career mentoring throughout your journey with us.
  • Success@Work workshops conducted by professional trainers to help candidates become professionals inside out.

2. Work And Study In Singapore-Overview

A Work & Study Career in Travel, Tourism and Hospitality

The Right Qualification is one that:

- should be globally recognised
- bring you many job opportunities locally and globally

abe
The Association of Business Executives (ABE), an UK-based professional body, has been offering high quality management education for more than 25 years and has more than 20,000 students in countries like United Kingdom, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Hongkong and China preparing for its examinations.

After ABE

ABE qualifications offer students options-the option of going to the next ABE level, or university study in your own country or abroad, or a better job, or an MBA, or all of these.

ABE qualification is recognized by more than 70 universities in 13 countries.

Also note that:
  • 2 Integrated Resorts (IR) in Singapore will open in 2009 and 2010, creating 35,000 extra jobs.
  • Johor’s Iskandar Dvelopment Region will be partially operational in 2010, with 800,000 jobs when it is completed in 2030.
Polytechnics are over-subscribed. Many will not get the chance…

The Straits Times 13 February: “Polytechnic courses in Tourism and Hospitality are now the hottest ticket to excellent job prospects.”

These are over-subscribed by 2-5 times. Polytechnics have increased their intake but can only produce 9,000 graduates / year but there are 60,000 new jobs.

Firms are giving scholarships and internships to try and get around the acute staff shortage.

So there will be a severe shortage of more than 40,000 experienced staff in 2 years’ time.

Over 450,000 Jobs To Be Created In Next 5 Years

By admin On January 11, 2009 No Comments

On March 8, 2007, the Straits Times mentioned about a speech in Parliament by the then Manpower Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen.

One thing was that SINGAPORE can expect to create more than 450,000 jobs in the next five years, with about half of them going to white-collar workers.

Dr Ng had based his five-year projection on the economy growing by 4.5 per cent to 6.5 per cent each year.

In the report it was mentioned that each of the two IRs is expected to hire more than 1,000 PMETs for such jobs as service executives, management executives, retail and sales managers, and restaurant services managers.

In his speech Dr Ng announced the letting of companies hire more S-pass holders, or semi-skilled foreigners.

However, this will not lead to a rise in foreign workers because their numbers must stay within the companies’ current foreign worker quota.

Employers, Have A Heart

By admin On January 9, 2009 No Comments

Hunting for a job in Singapore is never easy for former offenders such as Mr Mohamed Rizal, 33.

He went through numerous interviews. Every interview resulted in rejection when prospective employers heard about his past.

Dropouts, low-skilled workers and the handicapped also have the same problem.

In early 2006, Mr James Chua, the CEO of private education provider Harriet Educational Group founded social enterprise Employer With A Heart (EWH).

It aims to encourage firms to be more active in social work.

Mr Rizal got his first proper job in 10 years, as a sales assistant, when Swedish furniture store Ikea decided to give him a chance. This was made possible by EWH.

He and others from different backgrounds participate in the Work And Study In Singapore Programme.  They work full-time at jobs sourced through EWH. Once a week, for about two years they attend classes at Harriet Business School to earn a diploma.  

Mr Rizal said that the Work And Study In Singapore Programme has boosted his confidence and taught him discipline. He also said: ‘It prepares me for a better career doing higher-level work. I can’t stay a sales assistant forever.’

What Is RSS?

By admin On January 2, 2009 No Comments
RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it. 

Why RSS? Benefits and Reasons for using RSS

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site’s email newsletter. The number of sites offering RSS feeds is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo News. 

What do I need to do to read an RSS Feed? RSS Feed Readers and News Aggregators

Feed Reader or News Aggregator software allow you to grab the RSS feeds from various sites and display them for you to read and use.

A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader (Windows), and NewsGator (Windows - integrates with Outlook). There are also a number of web-based feed readers available. My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed readers.

Once you have your Feed Reader, it is a matter of finding sites that syndicate content and adding their RSS feed to the list of feeds your Feed Reader checks. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available.
