CDC and SingLand invest in youth education with DOTS Academy launch

The parties each contributed $250,000 to fund the programme.

Central Singapore Community Development Council (CDC) and SingLand launched the DOTS Academy @ Central to provide diverse learning opportunities and coaching to 1,000 youths.

CDC and SingLand each contributed $250,000 to fund the programme.

As part of the academy's launch, the parties also rolled out the "I Am Talented" initiative, which promotes self-discovery and inspires excellence in academic and non-academic areas.

Over 200 individuals attended the workshops on 18 and 25 May, and around 50 participants and mentors engaged in the career exploration and mentoring training sessions.

In addition, the academy offers career exploration workshops, mentoring sessions to support development and school-to-work transitions, educational workshops, field trips, and other ad-hoc learning experiences.

DOTS Academy @ Central prioritises individuals with disadvantaged backgrounds, including those who may not have access to such opportunities.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
