Partnering with leading companies such as CraveFX, FusionWorks, iTrainKids, Geek Fam, Cause Effect Consultants and Virtualtech Frontier, Taylor’s College ensures its students receive invaluable industry exposure.

“WBL offers our students a significant advantage by bridging the gap between academia and industry. This mode of learning provides continuous mentorship from industry experts, enhancing students’ learning experiences and significantly boosting their employability upon graduation,” added Ts Dr Wong Chee Kong, Head of School of Diploma and Professional Studies, Taylor’s College. WBL ensures students receive structured guidance and insights from industry mentors, preparing them for seamless transitions into the workforce.

The session offered a glimpse into the experiential learning outcomes of the programme, highlighting the hands-on and real-world experiences that define Taylor’s curriculum. It also underscored the creative and technical competencies students will develop throughout their studies.
