Other Overseas Initiatives

At RP, we believe that learning does not stop once you graduate. We work closely with our international partners to co-create learning opportunities and capability building for overseas and local trainees.

The training programmes help organisations and lifelong learners to experience other cultures or become better equipped to conduct business overseas. With the pandemic these initiatives have moved online, taking the form of webinars, e-workshops, virtual trainings and learning journeys. We hope to return to physical education programme and activities once more travel restrictions are lifted.

Programmes

RP also leverages our network of international partnerships to provide unique opportunities for growth and exchange. This helps our part-time continuing education student broaden their horizons and gain first-hand experiences with other cultures.

We also partner with other organisations, both local and overseas, to conceptualise and deliver customised training programmes for their intended audiences. Here are two examples.

Tourism and Hospitality Capability Development Programme in the Philippines

Supported by Temasek Foundation, we teamed up with Temasek Polytechnic and the Department of Tourism and Cebu Province in the Philippines to deliver the Tourism and Hospitality Capability Development Programme in the Philippines.

The programme used the Cebu province as a model to develop a strategic direction for sustainable tourism and hospitality, while strengthening Cebu’s competitiveness as a destination for Business events. It hoped to expand tourism by integrating leisure products such as a cultural heritage tourism.
