Centre for Life Skills (CLS)
Overview
The Centre for Life Skills (formerly the Centre for Communication Skills) equips full-time TP students, working adults and industry partners with effective life skills including communication, critical thinking, customer service, language proficiency and personal skills to enhance their value in the workplace. The Centre also provides continuing education and training (CET) in business communication, including running SGUS workshops for job seekers, and works closely with partner institutions to conduct programmes for adult learners in a range of subjects, including Technical English and Business English programmes for some overseas institutions.
In addition to teaching full-time TP students, we conduct customised corporate training for organisations who wish to upgrade their employees' communication skills to stay relevant and competitive in the business environment.
