"In the New Economy, many careers call for both hard and soft skills. With the Ngee Ann Learning Model (NLM), our goal is to produce professionals with life-long employability. By equipping our graduates with a broad perspective and a broader skills base, we envisage that they will be better-placed to effectively respond to change and to manage the complex issues of the future." |

"This is a good idea on Ngee Ann's part. My view is, whether a person succeeds or not depends on the soft skills, and not so much the technical skills...One reason why employees lack communication skills and can't think of ideas is because many do not read beyond their discipline. We need a broad-based culture of learning." |
