At the Centre for International & Professional Experience (CIPE), we create global opportunities that will enhance our students’ academic learning, broaden their perspectives, and hone the skills they need to succeed as students today and leaders tomorrow.
CIPE’s team of dedicated advisors work with Yale-NUS students to identify and pursue learning opportunities that are aligned with students’ values and development goals. CIPE advisors are trained in career coaching, intercultural engagement, facilitation skills, and a number of other relevant professional development areas.
