The National University of Singapore will open up 200 full-time jobs and 800 paid traineeship positions across its faculties and research institutes. They will encompass positions in NUS’ central administration, 17 faculties and schools, 29 research institutes and centres, and the National University Health System.
Students who had received financial aid during their studies will be given priority for the traineeship positions. They may receive monthly allowances of up to $2,500.
Bachelor’s, master’s and PhD graduates can apply for the traineeships in four different tracks: executive and professional, education, research, and entrepreneurship. Those who perform well in the traineeships may be offered full-time positions.
Separately, NUS has also announced another scheme where graduates keen on entrepreneurship can take up traineeship positions at companies started by NUS students and faculty. A total of 130 traineeships will be offered by 17 NUS start-ups.
