Immersive+ is a train-and-place targeted at youths interested to enter the digital industry. It includes a 10-week training followed by a 3-month work attachment. This program is for youths who are long-term absent from school, under the ministry’s rehabilitation and protection group, or from lower income families. Participants are aged 17–25 years old.

Immersive+ is a train-and-place targeted at youths interested to enter the digital industry. It includes a 10-week training followed by a 3-month work attachment. This program is for youths who are long-term absent from school, under the ministry’s rehabilitation and protection group, or from lower income families. Participants are aged 17–25 years old.
Here’s a story of Fatin, one of our learners from our recent batch who graduated from a similar program we ran last year.
We are fundraising to provide training stipends for our learners as they attend the 10-week digital marketing training. With most coming from lower income family, the learners would have to support themselves financially independently and sometimes even provide financial support to their family. However, due to the nature of the full-time training, the learners would have to forgo their jobs to join the program. The stipend is intended to provide them with a small allowance where they give up their job to upskill.
The stipend will be divided into training and transport stipend. Training stipend (up to $116) and transport allowance (up to $40) will be disbursed every two weeks, contingent on student’s attendance and punctuality.
This campaign has been extended to 30 September 2023 to support a new batch of mixed-gender students. The new target goal is $20,000, of which $8,891 was already raised from May to July 2023.
By providing support to our learners, they will be able to further their studies and pursue their dreams in the digital industry. Thank you for your support!
