Employee Engagement

At NUS-ISS, it is not all work and no fun. We get together from time to time and hang out with good food, interesting activities and great company. Here are snapshots of some activities we organised (it’s just the tip of the ice berg).

Recreational Activity: National Day celebration

The Recreation Committee (RC) organised a get-together for all NUS-ISS staff to celebrate the nation’s birthday. It was an enjoyable afternoon of games (Quiz about Singapore, Photo Hunt & Foosball) pizza and drinks for everyone.

NUS-ISS Annual Team Building

Organised by our HR team, this year’s annual team building event was held at Kallang Theatre. Themed ‘The Incoming—Together We Stand Against The Incoming Challenges’, the event included activities such as archery tag, laser tag and art jamming to celebrate collaboration and team work. It was incredibly fun way to bond!

Recreational Activity: Christmas Celebration

The RC team gathered staff of NUS-ISS for an early Christmas celebration to soak into the Christmas festive mood. It was a wonderful gathering with all partaking in a festive, sumptuous feast, the exchange of gifts and Christmas carols sung by staff.

Our Industry Partners

NUS-ISS works with leading industry partners and official accreditation bodies, both locally and internationally. Through our engagement and partnerships with these organisations, we ensure that we deliver a comprehensive range of programmes with recognised certifications and qualification.
