The 12-week executive certificate program is designed to equip senior business leaders with advanced leadership strategies and practical tools for navigating the complexities of today’s fast-evolving business environment, particularly amid the surge of AI-driven innovations.

The occasion marks a milestone for Singapore-Philippine education cooperation. It is also a reflection of the deep and growing relationship between Singapore and the Philippines, a partnership built on mutual respect and shared aspirations for the future.

In her speech, Ambassador Constance See Sin Yuan of the Embassy of Singapore said, “This year, 2024, is especially significant as it marks the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and the Philippines. Over the past five decades, our two countries have built a strong foundation of cooperation across various sectors, and education has been at the heart of these efforts. Today’s launch is another step forward in our journey together, and it reinforces the importance we place on learning, collaboration, and preparing our young people for the future.”

Set to commence in Q1 2025, the program will combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on leadership experiences, offering executives from Southeast Asia and beyond an invaluable opportunity to enhance their leadership acumen. It will feature 10 in-person sessions at SMX Convention Center Aura, Manila, followed by four immersive days in Singapore, where participants will engage with Singaporean companies and industry leaders. 

Ambassador Constance added, “As a diplomat, collaboration is a way of life.  My job is about building bridges, making connections, making common cause with others so we can work together to achieve shared objectives.”
