Business students offer free consulting to local charities

NVPC vice-chairwoman Chong Ee Rong, NVPC CEO Tony Soh, Essec Business School’s dean and president Vincenzo Vinzi and president of the board of directors Annick Schwebig at a signing of an MOU.Business management students from a private college will study problems faced by local charities and give them advice on how to raise funds and retain talent – all for free.

“This is very valuable to the charity partners, because they may not have access to these kinds of expertise,” said Ms Lin Sufei, director of corporate and industry partnerships at NVPC. The study is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026. It will look at how best to implement such corporate volunteering programmes.

She added that Essec is the first overseas education partner that has made such a commitment. The school has campuses in Singapore, France and Morocco. Five to 10 Bachelor of Business Administration students can also sign up for field work experience. They will have to fulfil a minimum of 35 volunteer hours per week over four continuous weeks, working directly with beneficiaries as part of their curriculum.
