PROGRAMMES FOR
TERTIARY YOUTHS
Taking into consideration the disciplinary-based training and trajectories tertiary students (ITEs, polytechnics & universities) have embarked on, TAC offers two key flagship programmes that support tertiary youths in career discovery, career access and career preparedness. We are always on the lookout for like-minded industry partners and community organisations to collaborate as programme partners for these flagship programmes!
