National University of Singapore has launched a new jobs platform for its students, allowing them to take on short-term job stints from companies while studying, with the help of the university’s digital marketplace.
NUS has also launched a networking platform that aims to bring together about 400,000 NUS students and graduates. Students can use the jobs platform dubbed Internship-As-A-Service (IAAS) to get a taste of a wide range of careers and earn streams of income from these gigs. By the end of this year, they will be able to earn modular credits that count towards graduation requirements.
NUS president Tan Eng Chye said the online platforms are part of NUS’ push to enhance interdisciplinary learning. He said the IAAS platform opens up opportunities for students to undertake meaningful gigs from a broad spectrum of domains without being tied down by the academic calendar or duration.
