We would like to thank all our partners and students who participated in our very first Health and Community Care Recruitment Drive, which was held on 14 April 2023!

It was a casual yet meaningful event, with many of our student participants reaching out to various industry partners to learn more about full-time/part-time and even volunteering positions available in the aged care landscape!

Once again, thank you everyone for making this event a success!

Silver Generation Ambassador Buddy Walk!

On 3 Feb 2023, Year 2 GEM students had the opportunity to buddy up with Silver Generation Ambassadors (SGA) to conduct home visits, where they learnt how to assess seniors’ well-being and sign-post them to useful resources.

GEM would like to thank Singapore Generation Office (SGO) for taking the time to provide such a meaningful learning opportunity for our students!

“The experience was very fruitful and very wholesome because I got to learn life lessons from the seniors and my SGA Buddy also taught me many life skills” - Kirsten Tay, Yr 2 GEM Student
