Highlights: Partnerships

See how our collaborations are driving innovation and success.

Strengthening Collaboration with ST Logistics

On 8 May 2023, RP renewed its successful partnership with the leading supply chain solutions firm ST Logistics by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). To date, over 60 students from the RP School of Engineering (SEG) have participated in internships and Work-Study programmes at ST Logistics, while 300 of the company's employees have attended upskilling courses at RP. This renewed partnership aims to further enhance our collaborative efforts, delivering significant value to both students and staff.

MOU with IFSC Pte Ltd to Co-create Cutting-Edge Solutions

Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), RP School of Hospitality (SOH) and technology company, IFSC Pte Ltd, will collaborate to develop advanced solutions aimed at facilitating the digital transformation of the hospitality industry. This partnership will provide SOH staff and students with opportunities to enhance their skills in emerging technologies and data analytics through internships, final year projects, and staff attachments. Additionally, SOH will deploy two proof-of-concept autonomous AI-driven cleaning robots provided by IFSC Pte Ltd at its Hotel Experiential Lab.

Going Green with Singapore Logistics Association

Through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between RP and the Singapore Logistics Association (SLA), small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will gain insights into the latest Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) measures and their contributions to Singapore’s Green Plan 2030. Additionally, there are plans to co-organise events and courses to encourage SLA members to adopt more sustainable practices. To commemorate this milestone, colleagues from the RP Centre of Innovation for Supply Chain Management participated in SLA’s 50th anniversary celebration by planting trees in support of the national OneMillionTrees movement.

Empowering Students with Special Educational Needs with TomoWork

In June 2023, RP hosted TomoWork’s annual Tomo Day. The event featured presentations by participants of the Talent Accelerator Programme, a 12-week initiative by the non-profit organisation aimed at providing training in core workforce-ready skills for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

Through close collaboration with TomoWork’s corporate partners, students had opportunities to secure internships or full-time jobs at organisations such as Amazon Web Services, Bloomberg, Google, and MSD Pharma (Singapore). Earlier, in April 2023, together with the other polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), RP signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with TomoWork to deliver impactful programmes for students and graduates with SEN.

Partnering with Info-Tech to Enhance Teaching and Career Opportunities

In June 2023, RP School of Management and Communication (SMC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Info-Tech to allow students and staff from the Diploma in Human Resource Management with Psychology (DHRMP) programme to leverage the company’s expertise in human resources (HR) related solutions. Under the partnership, RP will be able to access dummy HR data, allowing students and adult learners to engage in hands-on practice within the HR Analytics module. Additionally, DHRMP lecturers will have opportunities to provide training and consultancy services to Info-Tech and its clients in HR analytics, while also gaining deeper insights into cloud-based HR technologies and solutions.

Supporting Career Development of Army Personnel

On 31 August 2023, RP and the Ministry of Defence of Singapore signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to provide army personnel with upskilling opportunities in sports science and coaching techniques. Selected personnel will participate in specialised diploma programmes curated by RP School of Sports, Health and Leisure (SHL), where they will learn the latest training methods and coaching techniques. The first cohort of army regulars commenced their Diploma in Sport Coaching (DSC) programme in October 2023.

Joining Hands to Arrest Carbon Emissions

In September 2023, RP collaborated with the Singapore Logistics Association (SLA) to launch a pioneering carbon management programme. Known as the GO Carbon Management Programme (goCMP), this initiative is tailored specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore. The goCMP aims to provide business owners and employees with valuable insights into their operational carbon emissions, thereby facilitating a gradual transition towards achieving net-zero emissions.

Aligned with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, this programme reinforces the nation's commitment to reaching net zero emissions by 2050. The comprehensive five-day programme includes staff training and project consultancy, empowering companies on their decarbonisation journey and enabling them to adapt to the rapidly evolving demands of the industry.

Advancing Automation and Digital Solutions for Warehouses

In November 2023, during the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology, Toll Group unveiled a strategic partnership with Republic Polytechnic (RP) aimed at advancing warehousing solutions through the utilisation of cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). This collaboration with RP is centred on the development of innovative technologies, geared towards enhancing productivity and safety within the warehousing sector.

Furthermore, the partnership with RP offers students valuable opportunities to gain practical skills and firsthand experience in industry operations, thereby strengthening their readiness for the workforce.

Boosting the Career and Skills Progression Pathways of Navy Personnel

Rear Admiral (RADM) Mr Sean Wat, Chief of Navy, joined RP’s Principal & CEO, Ms Jeanne Liew, in signing a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at collaborating on initiatives to enhance the career and skills progression pathways of service personnel. Through this partnership, the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) will work closely with RP to develop a suite of Continuing Education and Training (CET) courses aligned with the RSN’s Skills Progression Framework.

These courses will draw upon RP's expertise in the Designing Your Life framework, offering valuable support to full-time National Service (NS) personnel as they transition to civilian life post-NS. This collaboration underscores RP and RSN's commitment to providing service personnel with opportunities for continuous learning and professional development.

First-of-its-Kind Outdoor Learning Programme for Students with Special Needs

On 20 October 2023, RP and the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore School (CPASS) formalised their commitment to fostering an inclusive society by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This partnership signifies a joint effort to provide enhanced support for individuals with special needs.

As a key component of this collaboration, RP School of Sports, Health and Leisure (SHL) and CPASS launched a customised three-year outdoor learning programme designed specifically for students with special needs. Through this initiative, youths with multiple disabilities gain access to RP's inclusive campus resources, fostering an environment conducive to their holistic development.

Under the guidance of SHL lecturers and students, participants from CPASS engage in confidence-building activities, enhancing their self-awareness and problem-solving skills through water activities and outdoor experiences at RP’s Xperiential Learning Centre (XLC) – Singapore’s largest inclusive outdoor adventure centre. The culmination of this programme is an overseas service-learning trip scheduled in September 2024, providing students with enriching experiences and further opportunities for personal growth.
