Creating Meaningful Impact

Organisations today face growing human capital challenges, including an ageing workforce and widening skills gaps, increasing difficulties in attracting and retaining talent, and the ongoing need to sustain productivity, innovation, and inclusion. Explore our recent projects to see how we work with partners to address these challenges in practice.

Shaping a Future-Ready Youth Workforce

In 2025, SUSS led a youth forum with Singapore’s four self-help groups to identify key skills gaps, guiding industry initiatives to prepare the future workforce.

Understanding Ageing Well Across Regions

This multi-region study explores how older adults experience "ageing well" across cultures, providing insights to improve care and support practices.

Building Empathy in Nursing Practice

In 2025, SUSS partnered with SingHealth Nursing to strengthen empathy through a culturally grounded framework supporting patient-centred care.

As one of Singapore’s six public universities, SUSS plays a national role in co-creating applied solutions to workforce and social challenges through recognised programmes and lifelong learning pathways.

Through our collaborations, we bring together:

Applied research that informs evidence-based decision-making
Practice-based education that develops future-ready talent
Innovative workplace solutions that generate measurable impact

Together, our work supports organisations and individuals to grow with purpose, equipping Singapore to thrive in a changing world.
