The Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS) celebrated its 60th anniversary last Saturday night with a gala dinner and book launch.
The non-profit private education institution was established in 1956 to address the training needs of the workforce. It currently offers courses in Business and Management, Engineering, Fashion Design, Information Technology, Health and Life Sciences, Mass Communications, Psychology and Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Management.
In a speech as the guest of honour at the dinner, Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob said private educational institutions will always play a key role in meeting Singapore’s educational needs.
At the dinner, MDIS also launched a commemorative book, entitled “Inspiring Lifelong Learning, The MDIS Story”, authored by branding consultant Koh Buck Song.
