Requirements typically include a degree, several years of experience in client relationship management, education services, business development, or programme operations, together with strong communication and stakeholder-management skills. The role expects the candidate to understand client needs, develop trusted relationships with corporate and individual learners, improve service processes, coordinate with academic and administrative teams, and support enrolment, programme delivery, and retention.

Experience in professional training, executive education, workforce development, or a university environment would be advantageous.
Can I work in Singapore?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employment Pass: SGD 5,600+ a month at 23 (6,000 from January 2027), more with age, plus 40 COMPASS points; a degree from a top-tier university scores 20 of them.
Before you apply: Schools want a degree and often a teaching qualification, and some places license teachers before you can teach: schools maintained by councils in England, and schools in Hong Kong, New Zealand and Thailand. Ask which licence your post needs.
Watch for: The post is usually advertised to locals for 14 days first; teacher aides and infant caregivers in licensed childcare centres are on the Work Permit list for South Asians and Filipinos since September 2026.
Official source: Ministry of Manpower: COMPASS points framework. Checked November 2026.
