About Centre for Future-Ready Graduates

NUS Centre for Future-ready Graduates (CFG) adopts a multipronged, student-centric approach to help students make sense of their strengths, refine their skills and demonstrate their value to employers.  Beginning with the end in mind, CFG has developed a four-year career roadmap to help enhance the employability of our graduates through a repertoire of skills programmes and industry focused experiential opportunities. This bolsters students’ assurance to delve deeper, discover their passion and explore multiple pathways to advance and thrive.
 
Serving the entire spectrum of students from undergraduates to post-graduates, CFG offers more than 15 unit-bearing courses often in collaboration with academic and industry partners. We continuously innovate and enhance the quality of our offerings, as our students deserve the best tools, preparedness, and mindset to not just launch a good career, but be equipped with life skills that can help them navigate a future that is unpredictable.
